Houston, Texas, November 17, 2009 — GTC Technology US, LLC (GTC) today announced that it has signed an engineering and exclusive marketing agreement with NPP Neftehim to offer clients a proven mixed metal oxide isomerization catalyst “SI-2” and isomerization technology “Isomalk-2^SM”. The new technology is capable of converting unbranched low-octane C₅-C₆ paraffins to octane boosting isomers with simultaneous benzene saturation in refinery streams. The SI-2 catalyst is a novel, highly effective Pt-containing, mixed metal, sulfated oxide isomerization catalyst.  The technology is noted for its higher tolerance to moisture and other impurities and its ability to process a significant quantity of C₇ components.

 

“This isomerization technology allows refineries to process a heavier naphtha fraction, which often accompanies the operational changes to meet the MSAT II gasoline specifications for benzene, aromatics and sulfur. This partnership enables GTC to offer clients a cost effective catalyst and full range of isomerization options. We look forward to welcoming NPP Neftehim into our Technology Partner Program,” said Pinti Wang, President and CEO of GTC.
 

“GTC has the resources and established reputation in the technology licensing business to help us expand our products and services into new markets faster. We look forward to GTC’s support in developing further applications of isomerization technology,” said Alexander Shakun, General Director of NPP Neftehim.   

 

NPP Neftehim is a world-class Russian scientific and engineering company with more than 50 years of experience developing and introducing technologies and catalysts for high quality gasoline production in refineries. Neftehim‘s advanced isomerization technology, Isomalk-2 has proven references in Europe and the CIS. www.nefthim.ru.
