Hydrogen-rich content gasoline: A new concept for paraffinic gasoline reformulation
Several refiners are evaluating a new gasoline-formulation technology called hydrogen (H2)-rich-content (HRC) gasoline. This patented technology uses low-sulfur, H2-rich refinery blendstocks like straight-run gasoline, isomerates, alkylate, butanes and renewable naphtha in gasoline blends, and adds aromatic amines (a high-octane gasoline additive) to make a drop-in specification gasoline.
A multi-objective optimization study for an integrated oil refinery-petrochemical plant—Part 2
In this research, the integration of an oil refinery and an ethylene-producing facility was examined using a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model that prioritized maximizing ethylene and propylene production and net profit.
Synhelion and Pilatus launch strategic partnership to scale solar fuels
Synhelion and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd enter into a strategic cooperation with the aim of accelerating the scaling of solar fuels for aviation.
World’s first in-flight study of commercial aircraft using 100% sustainable aviation fuel shows significant non-CO2 emission reductions
Results from the world's first in-flight study of the impact of using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in both engines of a commercial aircraft show a reduction in soot particles and formation of contrail ice crystals compared to using conventional Jet A-1 fuel.
Next Wave Energy starts up world's first standalone alkylation complex
Next Wave Energy Partners selected Elessent Clean Technologies, Inc. (Elessent) in 2019 to provide STRATCO® alkylation technology at the world’s first stand-alone alkylation complex.
Singapore middle distillates stocks slip on rising jet fuel/kerosene exports
Singapore's middle distillates inventories fell by more than 100,000 bbls in the week ended May 29 amid higher net jet fuel/kerosene exports, though diesel/gasoil net exports declined.
Under new program, little to no ethanol will qualify for U.S. aviation fuel credit
Little to no ethanol will qualify for U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) subsidies under a new pilot program by President Joe Biden's administration, which toughened climate requirements at the last minute.
Indonesia's Pertamina conducting gasoline tender for June
Indonesia's Pertamina is conducting a tender to procure 98-octane gasoline for June, an official at procurement subsidiary Pertamina Patra Niaga said.
A multi-objective optimization study for an integrated oil refinery-petrochemical plant—Part 1
The study of the ideal integration of an oil refinery and an ethylene production facility has regained interest due to the rising costs of crude oil and its derivatives. This study proposes a multi-objective optimization approach that maximizes the net profit and production of ethylene and propylene in an integrated plant.
