About this document

Isomerization Process in Petroleum Refining by An Lê Trường is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the isomerization process, which converts straight-chain paraffins into branched-chain isomers with higher octane numbers. The objectives are to improve gasoline quality. Typical feedstocks include light naphtha cuts from crude distillation or catalytic reforming. The reactions produce isomerate and net gas products. The reactions are slightly exothermic equilibrium reactions. Catalysts use bifunctional or acid mechanisms to isomerize the paraffins. Common catalysts include chlorinate
