Two Koch Industries affiliates, INVISTA Performance Technologies (IPT) and Koch-Glitsch, have expanded their collaboration to launch a system that transforms low-value, light paraffinic feeds into high-octane gasoline. The new system, called the “Fuel Injector for Automotive Applications,” or FIIAS, is being developed by IPT, which has been working with Koch since 2010. In addition, IsoATM eliminates 90% of the sulphur content and minimises benzene formation, and does not require upgraded refinery equipment, a hydrotreating process nor the use of recycle gas.
Two Koch Industries affiliates, INVISTA Performance Technologies (IPT) and Koch-Glitsch, have expanded their collaboration to launch a system that transforms low-value, light paraffinic feeds into high-octane gasoline. IsoATM technology isomerises and aromatises C5 to C7+ paraffins, leading to a reduction of Reid Vapor Pressure, alongside a 20-25-point increase in octane. In addition, IsoATM eliminates 90% of the sulphur content and minimises benzene formation, and does not require upgraded refinery equipment, a hydrotreating process nor the use of recycle gas.
