Chevron Corp. and Honeywell recently completed the commissioning and startup 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 need for a cost-effective alternative to conventional liquid acid systems that offers process safety advantages. Using a nonaqueous liquid salt, or ionic liquid, the revolutionary new catalytic process is handled with standard PPE and produces a valuable high-octane blending component that helps lower the environmental impact of gasoline.
