Economics of Octane Loss In Gasoline Desulfurizers

With gasoline margins surprisingly strong, refiners are focusing on economic costs and opportunities in cracked gasoline desulfurization. These opportunities come in the categories: feed, catalyst, process, sulfur credits, laboratory tools, revamps, and new investment opportunities. Many of them can be captured quickly with no capital investment. This segment of the RefComm 2023 FCC program will focus on this topic, including five real-life success stories and group discussion. Here is a sneak preview:
