Enhanced Production of Various Grades of Gasoline Based on Studies of Intermolecular Interactions of Blend Components and the Composition of the Processed Feedstock

Resumo

Results from improving gasoline production efficiency by using a computer system, taking into account intermolecular interactions of blend components in calculating octane numbers of various grades of blended products and the composition change of the feedstock in reforming, isomerization, alkylation, and catalytic cracking processes, are analyzed. The computer system can be used to determine quickly and precisely the optimal component ratio that ensures production of commercial gasolines conforming to all current regulatory requirements.
