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. Commercially-demonstrated in six refineries, the technology can deliver an 85 wt% C5+ liquid yield with a typical octane boost of 20 – 25 points. 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.
