| Description |
There is considerable increase in awareness of environmental regulations towards
maintaining better air quality. In this context, Indian refineries have initiated steps
to reconsider methodologies to produce more cleaner products than what were
being produced before. In the past; the emission control limits on automobiles and
fuels were being applied to reduce atmospheric pollution particularly in
metropolitan cities. The control limits are expected to be further tightened by
2004/5 or even before. As a result, Indian refining industry is looking to meet these
challenges for producing still better eco-friendly fuels.
The paper provides information on consumption and demand pattern of motor
gasoline, its key specifications along with details of existing FCC units in the
country. In motor gasoline, after lead phase out, reduction in sulphur, benzene
content, total aromatics and olefins are some of the important issues for
consideration. Sulphur in motor gasoline significantly contributes towards exhaust
pollutants such as CO, NOx and hydrocarbons. This paper, presents results on
preliminary pilot scale investigations for HYdrodesulphurization of FCC Gasoline.
As the severity of operation increased i.e. increase in temperature and pressure or
lowering of space velocity, the degree of HDS increased. A maximum HDS of
96% was achieved under the operating conditions.
