Refining
UOP offers refiners a full portfolio of process technology, adsorbents
and catalysts, specialized equipment, engineering and technical services,
as well as operational support services.
You can employ UOP’s technical capabilities for operational improvements,
revamps of existing equipment, major expansions, as well as grass-roots refinery
projects. UOP’s “single source” capability offers you fully
integrated and optimized solutions that drive toward minimum investment cost
and project timing, ensuring maximum project profitability.
UOP has a long history of industry leadership in gasoline production technologies
with the Platforming, Penex, Butamer, and UOP HF Alkylation processes. We have
developed new technologies such as the ISAL and InAlk processes to meet gasoline
needs of the new millennium.
The UOP Fluid Catalytic Cracking, Unicracking and Unionfining processes focus
on gas oil conversion and diesel fuel production. UOP offers crude and vacuum
distillation, coking, visbreaking, solvent deasphalting and the Merox process
for product treating as part of a full refinery solution.
Hydrogen is a major focus in refining today because of the drive toward low-sulfur
gasoline and diesel fuels. UOP is focused on maximizing H2 production from
existing producers, while minimizing consumption in hydroprocessing units.
The Polybed PSA and Polysep Membrane technologies are integral to efficient
hydrogen generation and management.
We can transfer UOP technology to your refinery through a unique collection
of products and services, including process licenses, adsorbent and catalyst
supply, basic design and front-end engineering design (FEED) services, and
training and technical support at unit commissioning. UOP also transfers technology
in the form of equipment, either skid mounted process modules or individual
key mechanical equipment items.
We also offer post-start up technical services, including process/catalyst
related consulting and refinery-wide reliability, availability, and optimization
services.
