THE JOURNEY TO SUSTAINED PROFITABILITY
A NEW ERA FOR ALKYLATION WITH IONIC LIQUID ALKYLATION
Date: June 30, 2020
Time: 7:00 AM CDT
Location: ON24
Duration: 1 hour
On-demand webinar recording

Please join our webinar, The Journey to Sustained Profitability: A New Era for Alkylation with Ionic Liquid Alkylation. Featured speakers are Chevron’s Principal Scientist and Fellow, Dr. Hye Kyung Timken, and UOP’s Alkylation & Treating Sr. Business Leader, Dr. Rajesh Gattupalli.

This event introduces the award-winning ISOALKY™ Technology, a commercially viable next-generation alkylate gasoline manufacturing process with performance benefits (yield, product octane number, safety and environmental) over the conventional acid-based processes. The ISOALKY™ Catalyst is a non-volatile ionic liquid that operates efficiently via on-line regeneration with the added benefits of no acid soluble oil (ASO) disposal and no solid by-product formation. It provides fuels manufacturers with an option that provides dramatic improvements in the efficient production of alkylate gasoline with far simpler handling procedures.

You’ll learn:

  • The science behind ISOALKY Technology and how it uses a non-volatile ionic liquid catalyst that operates with on-line regeneration, without acid soluble oil (ASO) disposal or any solid by-product formation
  • How integrating ISOALKY Technology in revamps can provide octane number boost and plant capacity increase
  • Why ISOALKY Technology provides greater flexibility in processing various olefin feedstocks
  • New opportunity of ethylene to alkylate gasoline with ISOALKY Technology

Plus, you’ll gain insight on best practices and lessons learned in a real-life case study based on five years of testing in a Chevron demonstration plant, and update of the commercial plant start-up.
