Pygas Hydrotreatment

GTC Technology in alliance with technology partners, offers an optimized technology for two-stage pyrolysis gasoline hydrotreatment. The technology is simple and easy to implement into existing plant requirements.  The process is applied to the C₅+ fraction of raw pyrolysis gasoline.

Advantages

• Flexibility in prefractionator cut point and a proprietary vaporizer allows control of polymerization potential in the hydrotreaters
• Reactor operates at high liquid content with mixed phases to minimize polymer byproduct plugging
• Optimized recycle scheme minimizes hydrocarbon vaporization and thereby extends reactor run length
• Catalyst exhibits high activity, stability, mechanical strength, and poison resistance
• Aromatics saturation in second stage reactor is less than 1%
