Discussion on alkylation units
Thread Content
This post was last edited by h*ng on 2017-10-6 at 20:41. The Ruums alkylation unit is superior to the DuPont alkylation unit in terms of acid consumption, product quality, energy consumption, and lifespan – so is it possible that the DuPont alkylation unit will be replaced by the Ruums alkylation unit? Or could the DuPont alkylation unit, through certain modifications or innovations, continue to compete with Rumus?
To determine whether a particular process is suitable for your company, it is necessary to consider the properties of the raw materials used there; make your choice based on these factors, rather than simply claiming that one process is better than another. The choice of process must be analyzed based on the actual circumstances. The DuPont process provides corresponding solutions for various isomers in tetraene ； The Rums process has strict requirements for isobutylene; the approach used when isobutylene is present is different from that used when it is not present.
With the emergence of new catalysts, both of these approaches could become obsolete
After the alkylation feed enters the washing tower, the washing water is acidic; why can’t methanol be recovered?
With the emergence of electric vehicles, alkylated fuels may become obsolete
Haha, it should be said that fuel-powered cars are banned from sale
In my opinion, the updates to current alkylation production processes are not as significant as those in energy structure adjustments; therefore, at this stage, substitution means that one process is replaced by another, such as aromatization in the past
One could go in the direction of aviation gasoline. . . There is always a way out. . . I just don’t believe that in my lifetime, electric trucks carrying 50 tons of cargo will be on the roads. . . Aircraft electricity enables it to fly in the air. .
Alkylation is the next step after aromatization. Although I don’t want to see it, I have to admit it. . . A rush to get involved. . . This leads to rising raw material costs, inverted product prices, and low added value. . The main reasons are low technical content, minimal investment, low entry barriers, and **the relevant authorities failed to provide proper coordination and oversight.** . . It is a market economy, after all. . .
