The advanced fuel process accomplishes a new full-range naphtha splitting mode, carrying out:
- more gasoline yield
- more hydrogen
- more octane
- more higher octane gasoline production capacity
- prevention of benzene formation in the refinery workplace, with benefit of the refinery and of its surrounding community (the benzene formation prevention is the only way of eliminating the air, water and soil pollution from the carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic agent benzene)
- gasoline benzene content lower than 0.62 %vol
- energy saving
- less pollutants (less of any pollutant type, ozone, 1,3 butadiene and all of the others) both in production and consumption segments
- less greenhouse gases both in production and in consumption segments
- better environmental, climate change related and technical gasoline quality
- no negative (in any sense) effects
- negligible investment
The process technology implementation is worth a few dozen million $ profit per refinery / year
We remark yet that a paramount greenhouse gases emission in the refinery currently occurs due to the need of hydrogen availability that is currently getting greater and greater in correspondence with the continuously increasingly heavier and heavier and sourer and sourer quality of the processed crude oils and with the contextual continuously increasingly better and better refinery products required quality. In fact both phenomena require massive hydrogen consumption: the advanced fuel technology hydrogen production and availability enormous gain, as much as its other energy savings, dramatically cut such greenhouse gases emission so becoming an unescapable dramatic necessity.
Summing up: the advanced fuel process hugely improves the economy, the environment, the climate, the engine operation and maintenance and saves energy for future
