AM-16-54 Adapting Petrochemical Processes for Enhancing Tier 3 Gasoline Blending Options

Description:

This paper will provide an independent analysis of installing this process technology and using this blendstock within a typical refinery. The study will examine how this process and product can be used to enhance gasoline blending flexibility and optionality. In addition, this approach can create additional optimization options that can be exploited by the upstream process units. This alternative blendstock provides benefits for gasoline blending in RVP as well as octane that open up alternatives from the conventional operations. To determine its applicability, a review of the specific refiner’s asset mix and market availability will allow for an informed decision to meet the challenges of the Tier 3 requirements and beyond.
