Combination alkylation-reforming process

摘要

High octane number motor fuel is produced by a combination process comprising alkylating isobutane with an olefin to produce an alkylate, fractionating the alkylate to remove isobutane, C3 hydrocarbons and lighter, and subjecting the total alkylate to reforming to increase aromatic content thereof and yield a reformed alkylate product of improved gasoline characteristics.
