Investigation of Production of Motor Fuel Components on Heterogeneous Catalyst with Oligomerization

Abstract

The production of high isoparaffin containing motor fuels which comply with the changing needs and standards is a significant research area. Because of this type of hydrocarbons have numerous application, environmental and economical benefits. One of the possible productions for this type of hydrocarbons is oligomerization of light olefins followed by their hydrogenation. Based on our experimental results we established that the examined various catalytic systems containing acidic ion exchange resin catalyst are suitable for the flexible production of different motor fuel blending components (gasoline, middle distillate) with high conversion (92.4 %) and good selectivity in particular at the process parameters (T: 130 °C, P: 30 bar, LHSV: 1.0 h−1) we found favourable.
