New FCC catalysts

Article Abstract:

Akzo Nobel NV will begin using improved manufacturing technologies for two lines of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts at its plant in Pasadena, TX, in the fall of 2000. The technologies, which are called Topaz and Jade, allows the production of FCCs with characteristics that can be specifically tailored to the requiremets of residual oil processing. These include reduced FCC emissions as well as improved activity and selectivity.

A 'package' deal for removing both sulfur and benzene from gasoline

Article Abstract:

GTC Technology has developed a new process for the simultaneous removal of sulfur and benzene from gasoline. The GT-DeSulf process can reduce sulfur to 30 ppm and recover benzene, toluene and xylenes. On the other hand, proprietary solvents are used in removing sulfur and aromatics through extractive distillation at 20 to 40 psig. Two process streams would then leave the GT-Desulf unit, an olefins-rich gasoline stream and a concentrated aromatics fraction containing sulfur compounds.
