Case history: Desulfurization of FCC naphtha
This refiner used pilot-plant testing of actual refinery FCC streams to find the best technology for blending 10-ppm gasoline
Apply new strategies for your clean fuels programs
Credits and allotments for early compliance with low-sulfur fuels can be effective business tools
Apply online analyzers to monitor 'sulfur-free' fuel
New x-ray fluorescence methods enable real-time detection of low sulfur concentration in hydrocarbons
Plan for success with your clean fuels program
Producing low-sulfur transportation fuels involves more than selecting process options. Here are other vital key issues to consider
Consider integrating refining and petrochemical operations
Converting low-value gas oil streams via hydrocracking yields high-value olefins feedstocks
Effective alarm management
Follow these guidelines to reduce operator overload and mistakes
