SULFUR CONTROL ADDITIVE REDUCES EMISSIONS, SAVING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

SOx control additives can reduce fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) SOx emissions to comply with environmental regulations without requiring the capital investment and maintenance cost of feed hydrodesulfurization or flue-gas scrubbing. Two cases described in this article reveal the additives' capabilities and cost. Citgo Petroleum Corp., in a full-burn test in its Lake Charles, Louisiana refinery, achieved an SOx reduction of 44 percent when testing Grace Davison's Desox SOx control additive. Total Petroleum (North America) Ltd. (now Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corp.), in a partial-burn test in its Alma, Michigan, refinery, achieved an SOx reduction of 38 percent.
