The FCC gasoline treatment unit reduces the sulfur content in gasoline to meet clean fuel regulations. TAIF-NK claims to be the first of the 28 refineries in Russia to meet the federation’s technical regulations, including Euro-4 requirements, with 100% of its motor fuels.
This additional unit, which utilizes CDTECH’s CDHydro technology, will enable TAIF-NK to work towards meeting Euro-5 requirements.
CDTECH’s CDHydro technology, which combines the reactor and distillation process into one piece of equipment, is a strategic fit with TAIF-NK’s staged approach for gasoline desulfurization.
CDTECH is a partnership between Lummus Technology, a CB&I company, and Chemical Research and Licensing, a part of CRI/Criterion, which is the global catalyst technology company of Royal Dutch Shell. The company develops and licenses advanced refining and petrochemical processes based upon its proprietary catalytic distillation technology.
