Description:

In a commercial dehydrogenation process, the catalyst is either continuously regenerated or regenerated at least a few times in a day. The requirement for continuous or frequent regeneration of the commercial dehydrogenation processes significantly contributes to the cost and complexity to construct and operate dehydrogenation plants. Maxofin, a new process to dehydrogenate C,-C, paraffins, is being developed based on a Mobil proprietary catalyst. The Maxofin catalyst is stable, resulting in an exceptionally long cycle length and provides selectivities at least as high as the commercially available catalysts. The unique feature of Maxofin, its catalyst stability, allows for retrofit options into idled facilities such as naphtha reformers. This results in significant savings in MTBE or alkylate production cost. In addition, Maxofin has the potential to significantly reduce capital required for constructing a world scale dehydrogenation plus MTBE plant. A partnership between Mobil and Kinetics Technology International Corporation (KTI) has been established to co-develop Maxofin. After successful process development, Maxofin will be available for licensing through KTI.
