SECTION-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1

INTRODUCTION

Isomerization is the conversion of low octane straight chain compounds to their higher octane branched isomers. The purpose of this process is to saturate benzene and to isomerise normal paraffins to improve the research and motor octane number of the light naphtha feed (predominantly C5/C6) before blending into the gasoline pool. The light naphtha fraction is typically high in normal isomer content resulting in a low octane number (typically < 68). The isomerization process converts an equilibrium proportion of these low octane normal isomers into their higher octane branched isomers. This process developed and licensed by Axens consists of three fixed bed adiabatic reactors, with benzene saturation carried out in the first reactor, and C 5/C6 isomerization reactions completed in the following two reactors. The isomerization reactions are carried over a fixed chlorinated platinum catalyst bed in a hydrogen environment. Operating conditions are not severe as reflected by moderate operating pressure, low temperature, low hydrogen partial pressure and high catalyst space velocity. These operating conditions promote the isomerization reaction, minimize hydrocracking and minimize equipment capital costs. The feedstock of the Isomerization unit is light hydrotreated naphtha coming from Naphtha Hydrotreating Unit. Naphtha is mixed with hydrogen. A small amount of chlorinating agent is continuously injected in to the isomerization catalyst. The mixture enters in first stage reactor where isomerization reaction occurs. The effluent is cooled before entering the second stage reactor. Remaining isomerization reaction occurs in third stage reactor. The effluent is then routed to stabilizer to reduce C4 rate in the isomerization reactor effluent. The stabilizer overhead is partially cooled and vapor phase is routed to LPG recovery section while liquid is used as reflux. Stabilizer bottom

is routed to deisohexaniser where low octane C6- n paraffin and methyl pentane is recycled to the reactor circuit in order to obtain a high octane product.

Impurities: The Isomerization catalyst is an activated chloride, alumina based catalyst with a platinum promoter. It is highly sensitive to impurities in the feedstock, in particular water or other oxygenated compounds. Feed to this unit is hydrotreated and both feed and make-up hydrogen are passed through dryers to remove any traces of water. Some

impurities are considered to be irreversible poisons such as water and nitrogen compounds. Others are reversible such as sulfur. It is critically important that the operating performances of both upstream hydrotreater and dryers are such that the impurity levels in the isomerization reactor feed do not exceed the levels shown hereafter. Discussions regarding feed poisons and their effects will be presented in the Operating Instructions Section. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE IMPURITY LEVELS IN THE FEED Total Sulphur 0.5 ppm wt max.

Hydrogen Hydrogen make-up to this unit is needed for isomerization unit for benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexane and in order to satisfy the hydrogen partial pressure requirement for the naphtha hydrotreatment and for the isomerization reactions. Hydrogen is supplied from a new CCR unit. A gas compressor is required to satisfy the process requirements of the different users.

SECTION-3 CHEMISTRY OF THE PROCESS 3.1

INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of this process is to saturate benzene and to isomerise normal paraffins to improve the research and motor octane number of the light naphtha feed (predominantly C5/C6) before blending into gasoline pool. The light naphtha fraction is typically high in normal isomer content resulting in a low octane number (typically
