Light Ends are the valuable products of a Petroleum refinery, their utilization as a refinery fuel is not an effective solution; considering economic, product slate and environmental factors. Alkylated Gasoline is one of the most promising additions to refinery's Gasoline pool, with its High Octane number and added advantages of Lower sulfur, Lower RVP, Lower Drivability Index, No Aromatic Contents. The new environmental regulations are forcing refineries to adapt new technologies to reduce the sulfur, aromatics contents while increasing the products quality and reducing emissions for Gasoline. There are number of ways by which these requirements can be met, and Alkylation is one of the best method that a refinery can adopt, not only to meet new environmental regulations, but also to increase the quality of Gasoline Pool by positively affecting the Refinery economic end because of the utilization of the light ends, that are converted to a more valuable Gasoline product. The installation of Alkylation unit is quite feasible, as considerable amount of Light ends can be obtained from petroleum refinery's number of processes, like FCCU, Plat-forming Unit, Coker, Thermal Cracking, Gasoline Stabilization Unit etc The Alkylated Gasoline can be produced using different patented processes available, depending on the type of catalyst or the technology offered by a specific company.
