The EPA has recently decided to reduce the maximum lead in gasoline to 0.1 gram per gallon by January 1, 1986. One of the most economical means of adding back the lost octane is to isomerize light straight run naphtha (LSR). Union Carbide Corporation's Total Isomerization Process (TIP) offers a quick, low-cost highly flexible approach to isomerization. During the past 15 years, refiners around the world have discovered numerous ways to adapt the rugged, halide-free TIP technologies to their particular needs. These many applications have permitted refining companies to install isomerization both quickly and inexpensively.
