Description:
This paper discusses recent STRATCO research showing how amylenes can be alkylated more economically than previously reported. The benefits are lower sulfuric acid consumption and higher alkylate octanes. This is achieved by keeping the cyclopentene out of the alkylation unit feed via fractionation, using a selective hydrogenation unit to remove the diolefins, and processing only amylenes in the final acid stage at a lower than normal spent acid strength. In fact, our research shows that amylenes can be added to this final acid stage in quantities sufficient to produce up to 25% more alkylate without increasing the makeup acid rate to the unit.
