Description:

The paper examines the economic incentives of an innovative process technology which was developed and commercialized by Mobil known as OCTGAIN. The process utilizes fixed bed low pressure hardware and uses a Mobil proprietary catalyst system to produce catalytically cracked (CC) gasoline component with thorough desulfurization and olefin reduction and practically no loss in Octane number. In fact the refiner can control product Octane by adjusting unit severity. The economic evaluation of the OCTGAIN technology was conducted with Bechtel’s proprietary linear programming software, Process Industry Modeling System (PIMS) by introducing an OCTGAIN process block to a typical PADD-3 refinery configuration for gasoline production and satisfying RFG specifications.
