Clariant, Sinopec sign two refinery catalyst deals.

摘要

The two firms have signed two separate refinery catalyst supply agreements. Under the first deal, Sinopec has agreed to license its FCAS series of S-Zorb? post-desulfurization FCC gasoline sorbent to Clariant. This cooperation agreement will allow Clariant to scale up the catalyst product portfolio for commercial production of ultra-low-sulfur gasoline that meets China National V and Euro-5 specs. The advantage of S-Zorb compared to other FCC gasoline posttreatment processes is that die S-Zorb process uses catalysts to adsorb all sulfur species from FCC gasoline with high RON retention and high liquid yield. Moreover, the single-step process requires no recycle streams, and consumes significantly less hydrogen. S-Zorb has been deployed in over 25 world-scale units in China and the US since 2001.
