AM-09-33 MAXMIZING DIESEL IN EXISTING ASSETS

Description:

This paper will explore the possible opportunities to increase diesel production from an existing gasoline FCC-based refinery. This paper will also explore options to shift a refinery with a maximum naphtha hydrocracking unit to increased diesel production while retaining flexibility to produce both naphtha and diesel. Evaluating project cost and product requirements requires in depth knowledge of refinery wide technologies with both catalyst and process design, and their application to new challenges. UOP is uniquely suited to this task, deriving knowledge from over 100 refinery catalysts and over 70 process technologies installed worldwide for almost 100 years.
