    Indalin Plus Technology: Production of Auto-Grade LPG & High Octane Gasoline

    Uploaded by

    Minhquang Ngo
    The INDALIN PLUS process converts naphtha and light gas oil streams into high yields of saturated LPG and high octane gasoline using a circulating fluidized bed reactor without external hydrogen. It produces up to 60% LPG meeting auto-grade specifications and 42% very low olefin gasoline with octane up to 95. The process significantly reduces olefins and sulfur while increasing BTX content and octane. It has feed flexibility and no need for pre-treatment.

    INDALIN PLUS TECHNOLOGY: PRODUCTION OF AUTO-GRADE

    LPG & HIGH OCTANE GASOLINE

    Introduction

    The growth rate in LPG demand is expected to Gasoline octane is also very high due to
    rise further with the introduction of LPG as presence of higher amount of BTX. All these
    automobile fuel. At the same time, naphtha is features of INDALIN Plus enable direct
    going to be in surplus in near future, due to blending of gasoline product into the refinery
    increasing use of natural gas and also the MS pool.
    significant increase in refining capacity. In view
    of this, IndianOil R&D Centre has developed a Simultaneous reduction in olefins, sulfur and
    new process called ‘INDALIN Plus’ for increase in octane for the gasoline fraction are
    conversion of naphtha/ light gas oil streams of the remarkable feature of the process. The
    any origin including straight run naphtha and process can also be integrated with BTX plant
    natural gas condensate to high yield of saturated for production of aromatics and further increase
    LPG and high octane gasoline containing higher in LPG yield.
    quantity of aromatics such as toluene, xylene
    with simultaneous reduction in olefins and sulfur
    in liquid product.

    Process description

    INDALIN Plus employs circulating fluidized


    bed reactor and regenerator hardware and
    proprietary catalyst formulation without
    requiring any external source of hydrogen and
    feed pre-treatment. It produces saturated LPG
    with potential to qualify as Auto-grade LPG.
    The operating conditions, hardware and catalysts
    are selected to make the process highly selective
    towards production of saturated LPG and high-
    octane gasoline.

    Olefins are not generated; rather the olefins in


    feed are converted resulting in very low olefins
    content in gasoline product. Also, the LPG is
    much less olefinic qualifying the specifications
    of Auto-grade LPG. Another important feature
    of INDALIN PLUS is the very high degree of
    desulfurization in the range of 80-95%
    depending on the feed. This reduces the sulfur
    content in gasoline product significantly.
