Analysis of Measures and Effect on Reducing Olefin Content in Gasoline

<正>This article refers to major measures for reducing olefin content of automotive gasoline and the effect after adoption of these measures. The key for reducing olefin content in China's automotive gasoline pool is to reduce the olefin content of FCC naphtha. The domestic refiners apply the olefin-reducing catalyst to decrease the olefin content of FCC gasoline as a convenient and cheap means to meet the national standard for automotive gasoline at the present phase. Furthermore, the novel domestic FCC reaction processes, such as the MIP, MGD, FDFCC and other processes can also apparently reduce olefin content in FCC gasoline. In order to further reduce the olefin content in gasoline to meet more stringent standard for automotive gasoline, Chinese refiners should optimize the processing scheme while aggressively disseminating hydrogenation process along with development of catalytic reforming, alkylation, etherification and other processes to completely change the simplistic composition of domestic gasoline pool.
