Alkylation + Alkylation process converts high olefins into alkylate by reacting the olefins with isobutane over a true solid catalyst. + Reactor design and process scheme allow operation at low external isobutane —to- olefin ratios while maintaining excellent product quality. * 1. The light olefin feed is combined with isobutane make- up and recycle and sent to the alkylation reactors which converts the olefins into alkylate using a solid acid catalyst.+ The Alkylate process uses a true solid acid catalyst to produce alkylate , eliminating the safety and environmental hazards associated with liquid acid technologies. + 2. Simultaneously , reactors are undergoing a mild liquid —phase regeneration using isobutane and hydrogen and periodically, a reactor undergoes a high temperature vapor phase by strip.* The reactor and mild regeneration effluent is sent to the product — fractionation section, which produces n-butane and alkylate products, while also recycling isobutane and recovering hydrogen used in regeneration for reuse in other refinery hydro processing units. + The Alkylation process does not produce any acid soluble oils (ASO) or require post treatment of the reactor effluent or final products.
