Treating Technology Solutions
If you’re one of the many refiners worldwide who is facing increased
pressure to remove sulfur from gasoline, jet fuel, LPG or light gases,
look to UOP for a full range of effective and economical treating technology
solutions.
The Merox process is the world’s most widely applied refining
technology. To date, more than 1,700 Merox units have been installed, and with
good reason.
The Merox process efficiently and economically treats petroleum fractions to
remove mercaptan sulfur (Merox extraction) or to convert mercaptan sulfur to
less-objectionable disulfides (Merox sweetening). This process can be used
to treat liquids such as liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), natural-gas liquids
(NGL), naphthas, gasolines, kerosenes, jet fuels, and heating oils. It can
also be used to treat gases such as natural gas, refinery gas, and synthetic
gas in conjunction with conventional pre-treatment and post-treatment processes.
By combining the Merox extraction technology with UOP's proven
gasoline desulfurization technologies, your refinery can enjoy added flexibility and
profitability. This combined approach enables you to process your FCC gasoline
to meet sulfur requirements in the most economical manner.
For refiners facing the ever-growing concern of the disposal of
spent caustic, UOP has commercialized its advanced Minalk Merox
technology for sweetening with a minimum amount of caustic, and the
Caustic-Free Merox process for sweetening naphtha, gasoline, kerosene,
and jet fuel with no caustic.
No matter what your treating needs, UOP has the solution that’s
right for you.
