The two technologies, More Iso-Paraffins and Clean Gasoline and Propylene, reduce undesirable components such as olefins, sulfur and benzene from gasoline.
The refining technologies also increase the yields of premium components, such as iso-paraffins, for high performance engines and propylene used to manufacture petrochemicals.
They can be installed in either existing or grassroots fluidized catalytic cracking units through modifications to the unit’s riser reactor section, and they also provide operators with flexibility to switch the desired operation mode based on market demand, either operated in maximum gasoline mode or increased propylene mode.
Shaw will market these technologies outside China on behalf of the developer, Sinopec’s Research Institute of Petroleum Processing.
