Petroleum Refining Process Overview by dana mohammed is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Alkylation and polymerization are petroleum refining processes that involve the unification of hydrocarbon molecules. 2. In alkylation, isobutane is combined with olefins like propene or butene in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce high octane alkylate fuels. Polymerization similarly combines light olefins like ethylene and propylene to form larger hydrocarbon molecules. 3. Both processes increase the molecular weight and octane rating of fuels, allowing refineries to produce more gasoline a
