The document describes a catalytic isomerization unit (KIT) that increases the octane rating of gasoline. It processes light petroleum fractions to produce gasoline with an octane number of 76-83. The technological process involves reacting normal alkanes over a zeolite catalyst to isomerize the hydrocarbons. The unit is available in capacities of 24 or 48 cubic meters per day and can boost octane by 13 to 30 points. It operates continuously to convert low-octane gasoline into high-octane unleaded petrol.

CATALYST ISOMERIZATION UNIT
KIT
General purpose
The unit is designed for manufacturing
high-octane gasoline with a MON of 76-82 (RON 80
to 92) by means of processing light petroleum
fractions and gas condensates.
The unit provides a boost in octane number by
13 to 30 points, as well as an improvement of
performance attributes and parameters of
hydrocarbon fuels.
The technological process is based on the
reactions of splitting and isomerization of normal
alcanes on a zeolite catalyst.
Raw material
Straight run gasolines and gas condensates
with boiling temperatures below 180°C.
Product
The product is an isomer with a MON of 76-83 (80-92 RON), which is subsequently used as a raw
material in manufacturing finished gasoline with a RON of 92 to 95.

TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS
An octane number boost is accounted for the process of catalyst isomerization of low-octane
gasoline into high-octane unleaded petrol.
The isomerization of gasoline fractions is a structural transformation of straight-chain hydrocarbons
into branched-chain hydrocarbons with a higher octane number. It is a continuous process, involving
direct heating of the hydrocarbon liquids with an electric stream induction heater.
The raw material goes through a cascade of recuperators where gets preheated while cooling the
isomer. Afterwards, the heated raw material enters the coiler of the heater where reaches the operation
temperature. The resulting gases enter the reactor where isomerization occurs. The depth of the process is
controlled by the rate of feed of the raw material. The resulting isomer enters the storage tanks after
getting cooled in a cascade of heat exchangers.
The manufacture is organized in a closed circuit in hermetic appliances, excluding any form of
contact between the raw material and the environment.
Electric equipment is fire-safe and flameproof. The unit can be operated and controlled in both
automated and manual mode.
The unit is equipped with a GSM module, providing remote control and monitoring.
