Description:

This paper will concentrate on a number of general sulfuric acid alkylation topics as well as to highlight important advantageso f the modern ER&E sulfuric acid alkylation reactor design. First we will briefly discuss how alkylation fits into the refinery and then about the chemistry of alkylation. We will then quickly review the alkylation process flow sheet. Next we will turn to discuss the effects of the key process variables and how their interactions are critical to efficient design and operation. Then we will compare the auto-refrigeration method of removing the heat of reaction, with the indirect refrigeration system and indicate why the auto-refrigeration method is very efficient. Also, to be discusseda re key advantagesa nd differentiating featureso f the ER&E reactor system. Finally, we will discuss commerical experience with the ER&E technology
