A novel approach to octane enhancement via FCC catalysis

The development of FCC catalysts containing the shape selective zeolite, ZSM-5, has been successfully completed. Both experimental and commercial results have demonstrated that significant octane enhancement can be achieved using these FCC catalysts. The Z catalysts reduce FCC gasoline yield, but total C/sub 3//sup +/ liquid yields increase. Total prime products yields also increase if sufficient alkylation capacity is available. Significant economic benefits are achieved. Because of Filtrol's flexible catalyst production process, ZSM-5 can be included in all grades of Filtrol's FCC catalysts. These new materials are now commercially available.
