Heterogeneous Oligomerization
Olefins oligomerization to Gasoline and/or Middle Distillates
In a context of unbalanced gasoline/diesel slates worldwide, refiners aim to maximize middle distillates production by converting light olefins from LPG and gasoline into distillates. Long operating cycles are achieved due to specific high selectivity of the promoted alumina forming very low gums deposits on the active surface.
C₄ or C₅ Olefins etherification (MTBE, ETBE, TAME, TAEE)
Etherification process selectively transforms isobutylene and isoamylenes into ethers by addition of alcohol (methanol or ethanol) in order to produce valuable additives providing octane boost to gasoline pool.
Homogeneous Oligomerization
C₃ or C₄ Olefins Dimerization
High-octane value motor gasoline is obtained from olefinic C3 cuts from FCC or steam-cracking. Oligomerization of C3 or C4 olefins produces with a high selectivity hexenes, heptenes and higher olefins up to dodecenes.
Ethylene dimerization to 1-Butene
Ethylene is selectively oligomerized in very pure 1-butene, which can be used as comonomer for LLPDE production.
