One of today's most widely used applications is the isomerization of light <br /> normal paraffins to branched paraffins. Low octane light straight-run naphtha, <br /> comprised of a mixture of pentanes and hexanes,is isomerized to produce a flexible, <br /> high octane, blending component that is free of sulfur and aromatics.The isomerization <br /> of light naphtha produces an excellent high octane gasoline blending component which <br /> is low in sulfur,benzene,and olefins.Another popular application is the isomerization <br /> of normal butanes to iso-butane for feed to alkylati n process units. <br /> UOP has decades of global experience in isomerization technologies.Our first <br /> commercial Butamer process unit,for the isomerization of n-butane to iso-butane,went <br /> on stream in 1959.The first commercial Penex process unit,for the isomerization of <br /> light straight-run naphtha,went on stream in 1969 Since the start-up of our initial <br /> Butamer unit, more than 235 units have been placed on stream using UOP <br /> isomerization technology at refineries around the world. <br /> For more detailed information on Isomerization,cE ck on the following links: <br /> C4 Isomerization Processes <br /> C5 and C6 Isomerization Processes <br /> Isomerization Catal sts and Adsorbents <br /> Isomerization Equipment <br /> http://www.uop.com/refining/1040.html 6/21/2005 <br />
