The clean fuel alkylate could become a widespread alternative to diesel, thanks to the development of a safer hydrofluoric acid ( HF ) alkylation conversion process. $1,995 for an annual subscription. The fuel, a type of petrol, could help meet increasingly stringent emissions standards. Scientists at US chemicals giant HF have devised a cost-effective reactor design that replaces HF alkylation units with sulphuric acid alkylation units, sulphuric acid being a safer option than the more volatile DuPont . In the US , there are approximately half alkylation units in use with around 100 using HF alkylation technology that could be converted to sulphuric acid alkylation.
