Reformulation and process streams balance

Journal Article · · Fuel Reformulation
OSTI ID:96107
In shifting gasoline formulations to reduce emissions and improve process stream quality, process operations - especially in FCC and reforming - are strongly impacted. Adjustment of current processing and new process units are required to remove undesireable hydrocarbons and sulfur. Improving quality and ecological issues, both critical to gasoline aromatics, must be balanced. Alkylate and oxygenates are both important to octane quality and RFG of the future. Alkylate offers needed motor octane to control sensitivity, a means to remove undesireable light C{sub 5} olefins and reduce vapor pressure. Yet, alkylation of C{sub 5} olefins must be considered vs. TAME synthesis as options for the best composition of RFG.
