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.
UOP and its partners (CB&I and Siirtec Nigi) have combined resources to improve the technology delivery for the Merox process line. CB&I and Siirtec Nigi will provide full-service engineering capabilities to support each customer’s project and implementation needs. In addition, CB&I and Siirtec Nigi can provide the procurement, modular fabrication and/or site construction services to deliver the most cost-effective Merox unit installation.
