1 Refining/Petrochemical Integration A New Paradigm Anil Khatri, GTC Technology Coking and CatCracking Conference New Delhi - October 2013

2 Presentation Themes Present integration schemes focus on propylene, and miss the potential to capture added value from aromatics Valuable components exist in FCC gasoline heavy olefins & aromatics Patented GTC purification and conversion technology can upgrade traditional fuel components to high value petrochemicals Component Value Relative to Unleaded Gasoline Naphtha 0.87 Unleaded Gasoline 1.00 Toluene 1.13 Benzene 1.15 Ethylene 1.24 Mixed Xylenes 1.26 Paraxylene 1.43 Propylene 1.55 Styrene 1.63 CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 Benzene Toluene Mixed Xylenes Propylene Page 2

3 Presentation Overview Gasoline demand and clean fuel regulations around the world Process for recovering aromatics from FCC Gasoline - GT-BTX-PluS Processes for utilization of FCC olefins Case study No gasoline, only p-xylene and benzene Page 3

18 GT-BTX PluS - Enabling Technology Technically advanced extraction process enables Desulfurized gasoline to < 15 ppm sulfur with zero octane loss Reduced benzene in cracked gasoline to < 0.5% benzene FCC olefins preserved for conversion to aromatics or propylene Patented process available through GTC Technology Page 18

19 Case Study GT-BTX PluS & GT-Aromatization Part of a recent project implemented for Rafinerie Onesti C 4 -C 5 Cut Aromatization Unit Liquid Product LPG + Off Gas Olefinic Raffinate H 2 Off Gas High-severity FCC feed Primary Fractionation C 6- C 8 Cut C 9 -C 10 GT-BTX PluS H 2 Off Gas HDS C 6 -C 10 Aromatics* Heavies Pygas Pygas Selective HDT Pygas C 11 + *Stream is sent to Aromatics Complex for Benzene and Paraxylene recovery Page 19

21 Conclusions Refinery/Petrochemical integration involves more than simple propylene recovery Recycling FCC gasoline to naphtha reforming is not true integration, and misses the main point of process efficiency GT-BTX PluS is the enabling technology which permits the best use of molecules to their highest value Page 21
