據烴加工網4月13日報道，日前，雪佛龍公司(Chevron Corporation)和霍尼韋爾(Honeywell)宣布，世界上首個使用離子液體生產烷基化液商業規模的ISOALKY工藝裝置已開始調試和啟動。ISOALKY技術代表了烷基化技術的重大創新。

　　首次用于雪佛龍鹽湖城（Salt Lake City）煉油廠的 ISOALKY?技術旨在滿足煉油行業對提供工藝安全優勢的傳統液態酸系統的經濟有效替代品的需求。使用非水性液體鹽，或離子液體，這種革命性的新催化過程由標準的個人防護設備處理，并產生有價值的高辛烷值混合成分，有助于降低汽油對環境的影響。該技術由雪佛龍的子公司雪佛龍美國公司首創，并授權給霍尼韋爾UOP公司，以ISOALKY?品牌名義提供給整個行業。

　　雪佛龍制造公司的總裁邁克·科伊爾表示，對于雪佛龍和鹽湖煉油廠來說，ISOALKY?工廠是一項令人興奮的成就，它將成為煉油行業的重大改變。我們為我們的員工和霍尼韋爾UOP為實現這一項目所展示的才干和團隊精神感到自豪。

　　霍尼韋爾UOP公司總裁兼首席執行官布萊恩·格洛弗（Bryan Glover）稱，ISOALKY是一項突破性的煉油新技術，與生產烷基化液的傳統液酸技術相比，它是一種風險更低、經濟的解決方案。離子液體具有很強的酸性，使其能夠在不產生常規酸揮發性的情況下生產烷基化物，從而簡化了加工程序。與雪佛龍合作，霍尼韋爾UOP已經將一種解決方案商業化，該解決方案能夠以更低的成本滿足全球對清潔燃燒燃料日益增長的需求，同時簡化復雜的處理要求。

　　ISOALKY?這項技術可用于新建煉油廠以及正在進行資本擴張或改造的現有設施。與傳統烷基化技術相比，ISOALKY?技術具有更廣泛和更高的進料靈活性。離子液體可現場再生，無需通過公路或海洋運輸進行場外再生和聚合物副產物處理。霍尼韋爾UOP是國際領先的石油精煉、石化和天然氣加工行業的工藝技術、催化劑、吸附劑、設備和咨詢服務的供應商和許可方。霍尼韋爾UOP是霍尼韋爾性能材料和技術戰略業務集團的一部分，該集團還包括霍尼韋爾過程解決方案(Honeywell Process Solutions)，后者是為石油和天然氣、煉油、石化、化工和其他行業提供自動化控制、儀表和服務的先驅。

　　Chevron and Honeywell announce start-up of world’s first commercial isoalky ionic liquids alkylation unit

　　Chevron Corporation and Honeywell announced the commissioning and start-up of the world’s first commercial-scale ISOALKY process unit that utilizes ionic liquids to produce alkylate. The ISOALKY? technology represents a major innovation in alkylation technology.

　　First used in Chevron’s Salt Lake City refinery, the ISOALKY? technology is designed to meet the refining industry’s needs for a cost-effective alternative to conventional liquid acid systems that offers process safety advantages. Using a non-aqueous liquid salt, or ionic liquid, the revolutionary new catalytic process is handled with standard personal protective equipment and produces a valuable high-octane blending component that helps lower the environmental impact of gasoline. Pioneered by Chevron U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron, and licensed to Honeywell UOP, the technology is offered to the entire industry under the ISOALKY? brand name.

　　“The ISOALKY? plant is an exciting achievement for Chevron and the Salt Lake Refinery, and it’s poised to be a game changer for the refining industry,” said Mike Coyle, president of Chevron Manufacturing. “We are proud of the talent and teamwork demonstrated by our people and Honeywell UOP to bring this project to fruition.”

　　“ISOALKY is a groundbreaking new technology for refiners, and a lower-risk and economical solution compared to conventional liquid acid technologies that produce alkylate,” said Bryan Glover, president and CEO of Honeywell UOP. “Ionic liquids have strong acid properties that enable them to produce alkylate without the volatility of conventional acids, allowing for simpler handling procedures. Together with Chevron, Honeywell UOP has commercialized a solution that meets the rising global demand for cleaner-burning fuels at a lower cost while simplifying complex handling requirements.”

　　ISOALKY? technology can be used in new refineries as well as in existing facilities undergoing capital expansion or retrofit applications. ISOALKY? technology has wider and improved feed flexibility relative to conventional alkylation technologies. Ionic liquids are regenerated on-site, eliminating the need for road or marine transportation for offsite regeneration and polymer byproduct handling.

　　Honeywell UOP is a leading international supplier and licensor of process technology, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment, and consulting services to the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and gas processing industries. Honeywell UOP is part of Honeywell’s Performance Materials and Technologies strategic business group, which also includes Honeywell Process Solutions , a pioneer in automation control, instrumentation and services for the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical and other industries.
