據ICIS-MRC網站1月13日莫斯科報道，據烴加工網信息顯示，霍尼韋爾近日宣布，盧克石油的子公司 Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez將在其煉油廠使用一系列霍尼韋爾UOP工藝技術，將低價值的真空輕油轉化為汽油和丙烯等高價值產品。

該項目的第一階段包括安裝新的UOP真空蒸餾裝置和UOP FCC裝置，該裝置專門用于增加煉油廠的丙烯產量，同時提高汽油產量。還將安裝UOP Merox裝置，該裝置將處理液化石油氣（LPG）流，并降低LPG和UOP丙烯回收裝置中的硫醇水平，以生產具有一定質量要求的丙烯,供后續使用。

霍尼韋爾UOP Merox工藝采用高效設計，經濟地實現了日益嚴格的硫規范。UOP Merox工藝從天熱氣和液化石油氣流中提取低分子量硫醇。Merox工藝不需要進料或苛性堿過濾器，并提供超過 99.5% 的在線可用性。

UOP將在俄羅斯Perm地區的煉油廠為該項目提供技術許可、設計服務、關鍵設備以及最先進的催化劑和吸附劑。建成后，該綜合設施的轉化能力預計將超過180萬噸/年的真空輕油。

UOP工藝技術副總裁兼總經理Laura Leonard表示，這些一流的UOP技術將使盧克石油公司在其Perm煉油廠增加丙烯和汽油的產量，同時受益于較低的資本和運營成本。UOP不斷投資FCC技術的開發，以滿足客戶最雄心勃勃的需求。我很自豪，盧克石油公司選擇繼續其UOP FCC技術的成功故事，該技術已經在盧克石油公司的幾個煉油廠得到應用。

Lukoil to use Honeywell UOP technology to improve gasoline and propylene yield

Honeywell announced that Lukoil -Permnefteorgsintez, a subsidiary of Lukoil, will use a range of Honeywell UOP process technologies at its refinery to convert low value vacuum gasoil into high value products such as gasoline and propylene, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

Phase one of the project includes the installation of a new UOP vacuum distillation unit and a UOP FCC unit that is tailored to increase production of propylene at the refinery while improving gasoline yield. A UOP Merox unit will also be installed that will treat the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) streams and reduce the level of mercaptans in the LPG and UOP propylene recovery unit to produce propylene with certain quality requirements for its further use.

The Honeywell UOP Merox process uses a highly efficient design to economically achieve ever-tightening sulfur specifications. The UOP Merox process extracts low molecular weight mercaptans from gas and LPG streams. The Merox process does not require feed or caustic filters and offers greater than 99.5% on-stream availability.

UOP will provide technology licensing, design services, key equipment and state-of-the-art catalysts and adsorbents for this project at the refinery in the Perm region of Russia. When completed, the conversion capacity of the complex is expected to exceed 1,800,000 metric tpy of vacuum gasoil.

"These best-in-class UOP technologies will allow LUKOIL to increase production of propylene and gasoline at its Perm refinery while benefiting from low capital and operating costs,” said Laura Leonard, vice president and general manager, UOP Process Technologies. “UOP constantly invests in its FCC technology development to meet the most ambitious needs of our customers. I’m proud, that Lukoil elected to continue its success story with UOP FCC technology, which is already being employed at several Lukoil refineries."
