The STRATCO^® alkylation technology is a sulfuric-acid–catalyzed process that converts low value, straight-chain olefins (propylene, butylene, and amylene) into high-value, branched components called alkylates. Alkylates are known for their superior blending properties and are a key component for clean gasoline. The STRATCO^® alkylation technology helps refiners safely produce cleaner-burning gasoline with high octane, low Reid vapor pressure, low sulfur, zero aromatics, and zero olefins. Licensed and marketed by Elessent Clean Technologies, the STRATCO® alkylation technology is the world-leading alkylation technology with more than 100 licensed units worldwide and more than 915,000 bpsd (35,800 kmta) of installed capacity. Elessent is committed to alkylation research and has extensive experience in assisting refiners with alkylation research, design, start-ups, test runs, troubleshooting, optimization, revamps, expansions, analytical testing, operator training, turnarounds, and HAZOP studies.
