Description:

The gasoline and diesel pool regulatory specifications, which are constantly evolving, have been in the forefront of refiners’ challenges in the last ten years. In particular, the gasoline sulfur and benzene regulations have been main drivers for the recent remodeling of the refinery configuration. This transformation has been seen all around the world but particularly in Europe, Asia and North America. Other countries are following the trend and a common worldwide gasoline sulfur specification is on the horizon. Indeed the overall gasoline sulfur content is likely to level off at 10 ppm across the globe. As a consequence most refiners will face renewed challenges to be able to meet the new Ultra Low Sulfur Gasoline (ULSG) specifications, however in view of other market forces there may also be new opportunities for refiners. This paper will identify these new opportunities by reviewing the processing options and consequences of such regulation focusing mainly on North American refineries. This review will draw upon the European experience to meet 10 ppm ULSG regulations through high severity FCC gasoline post-treating technology (such as Prime-G+TM) and examine the application of this experience to the North American market and revamp of existing selective FCC Naphtha desulfurization units.
