Abstract

Abstract
After reloading the reformer catalyst on Platforming 2, Rijeka Refinery was able to run the unit in high severity mode. During the months in 1999 and 2000 when average RON of reformate was above 99, consumption of MTBE was kept in range 0 to 3,23 vol% in EUROSUPER gasoline grade. The less severe mode resulted in higher MTBE consumption, so that MTBE content in the same gasoline grade was reaching 7 vol%. During both modes hydrogen quality was preserved to keep required hydrogen partial pressure for hydrodesulphurisation of diesel fuels. By lowering MTBE content in Eurosuper gasoline we reduced production costs due to very high price of MTBE and also prevented possible polution of underground recources of drinking water.
