A Novel Solution to H₂SO₄ Alkylation

Alkylation is a flexible solution for producing gasoline that meets emission standards while maximizing octane. When alkylate is produced by sulfuric acid, a need arises for the removal of entrained acid and neutral acid esters before processing continues. Enter Merichem Technologies’ ESTEREX^™. An adaptation of FIBER-FILM^® Contactor technology, this product efficiently and reliably removes contaminants from refinery streams. See this technology featured in Chemical Engineering.
