CB&I (The Woodlands, Tex; www.cbi.com) has been awarded a contract by a major North American petroleum refiner for the technology license and engineering design of a new alkylation process unit to be located on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The unit will use CB&I’s advanced CDAlky sulfuric acid alkylation technology to produce 23,000 barrels per day of alkylate based on 100% C5 olefin feedstock and marks CB&I’s first, U.S. license for the technology.
CDAlky is an environmentally-friendly alternative process to obtain high-octane, premium gasoline with less environmental impact, while also reducing overall maintenance and chemical cost for refineries.
