Honeywell UOP Introduces Ionic Liquids Alkylation Technology...

摘要

Honeywell UOP announced that it has introduced to the refining industry a new alkylation technology developed by Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corp., that employs ionic liquids as a catalyst to produce high-octane motor fuels. Chevron licensed the technology to Honeywell UOP, which will offer the technology under the ISOALKY~(TM) brand name as an alternative to traditional technologies that use hydrofluoric or sulfuric acids as a liquid alkylation catalyst. Chevron proved the technology in a small demonstration unit at its Salt Lake City refinery, where it has operated successfully for five years.
