Grace davison FCC catalytic technologies for managing new fuels regulations

摘要

Not long ago, a refiner's key objective was to maximize profiltability by separating and cracking crude oil into its most valuable boiling range products. In addition to looking for ways to improve profitability, today's refiner is also challenged by increasingly stringent regulations on refinery emissions and product properties. Specifically, both current and longer-term gasoline quality regulations will require that refiners reduce gasoline olefins and sulfur levels. While all refiners will have to spend money to meet these regulations, those making use of the bast technology will gain a competitive advantage.
