CAA Compliance Planning and Services
|
Staff of HEA Division have carried out many studies and projects to identify,
evaluate, and where necessary, install alternate routes to comply with Clean Air Act
requirements:
|
- Ethanol - CAA and Marketing Implications. Updated client
on the legislative, tax, and production history of fuel ethanol in the U.S., and on the impact of
ethanol on automobile performance and on refinery optimization.
- Fuel Ethanol Production. Estimated capital and operating
cost for a grass roots new plant for fuel ethanol production by both the wet- and dry-milling
processes.
- FCC Kinetic Model. Used a FCC kinetic (math) model to
predict the impact of cracking severity on yield of C6 and C7 aromatics in
gasoline.
- New FCC Integration. Evaluated the impact and benefits of
replacing old catalytic cracking technology with new FCC technology.
- Catalytic Reformer Benzene Precursor Adjustment.
Reviewed composition data and determined the best means to use available and/or new fractionation
equipment to achieve optimal reduction of benzene in reformate product.
- Aromatics Extraction Options. Evaluated ways to modify
feedstock composition and unit operations to achieve lower net benzene content in finished
gasolines.
