Benzene reduction using OCTGAIN - a new way to meet RFG specifications
- Mobil Technology Co., Paulsboro, NJ (United States)
Phase II reformulated gasoline specifications in the U.S. requires refiners to reduce the sulfur, olefins and benzene content of gasoline. Conventional solutions for sulfur reduction such as FCC feed hydrotreating or gasoline hydrofinishing require a large capital investment or lead to a large loss in octane. Mobil`s OCTGAIN{reg_sign} process lowers FCC gasoline sulfur and olefin content without a high capital investment and without a loss in octane. This same process can also be used for benzene reduction. Cofeeding a benzene rich reformate fraction to the OCTGAIN process leads to benzene conversions of up to 47%. Depending on the feedstock, there may also be an octane boost of 1.5 numbers for processing heart-cut reformate.
