What is Alkylation Process in Petroleum Refining about?
Alkylation is a chemical process that combines light hydrocarbons like propylene and butylene with isoparaffins like isobutane to produce alkylate, a premium high-octane gasoline blending component. Under the influence of an acid catalyst, the compounds react to form heavier hydrocarbons. The liquid fraction, alkylate, consists mainly of isooctane, which provides excellent antiknock properties to gasoline. Alkylation produces a high-octane, environmentally friendly gasoline additive that increases the pool
