Prime-G+™ Commercial Performance of FCC Naphtha Desulfurization Technology

Description:

This article will focus on solutions provided by Axens, a company formed two years ago through the merger of IFP’s licensing division with Procatalyse Catalysts & Adsorbents, to meet the low sulfur gasoline regulations. Industrial results from the world leading technology, Prime-G+, are supplied for both European and North American refineries. Another route to ultra-low sulfur gasoline is described in this article. The OATS process, initially developed by BP and exclusively licensed by Axens, operates under mild conditions and requires neither fired heater nor compressor as it requires no hydrogen.
