据烃加工网站2月9日报道 霍尼韦尔宣布，它已经推出了一种新的解决方案，利用霍尼韦尔UOP生态精炼技术生产用于石化生产的可再生石脑油。这条新途径可以从废弃食用油和动物脂肪等可持续原料中高产出石脑油。

石脑油是一种宝贵的石化原料，用于生产塑料，尤其是烯烃，它是用于生产聚酯和其他包装材料的其他化学品和芳烃的组成部分。石脑油传统上来自原油和天然气冷凝液，但现在可以从可再生原料中生产。与石油原料相比，来自使用过的食用油等可持续原料的可再生石脑油的温室气体排放量降低了50%-80%，具体取决于原料。

在引入可再生石脑油解决方案之前，UOP生态精炼技术已被用于生产主要是绿色柴油和绿色喷气燃料，少量生物石脑油作为次级产品生产。同样的生态精炼技术可用于生产高产量的可再生石脑油，作为其主要产品，反映了生态精炼设计的多功能性，以及根据市场需求生产一系列产品的能力。

霍尼韦尔可持续技术解决方案公司副总裁兼总经理本·欧文斯表示：“我们积极与客户接触，推动新技术的采用，因为随着消费者更喜欢生物基产品，可再生石油化工原料的兴趣越来越大。我们认为，UOP生态精炼工艺生产的可再生石脑油是当今行之有效的解决方案，与使用石油基原料相比，它可以帮助石化生产商减少产品的碳足迹。”

Honeywell introduces new technology to produce key feedstock for plastics

Honeywell announced that it has introduced a new solution for producing renewable naphtha for petrochemical production using their Honeywell UOP Ecofining technology. The new pathway can produce high yield of naphtha from sustainable feedstocks like used cooking oil and animal fats.

Naphtha is a valuable petrochemical feedstock used in the production of plastics, specifically olefins that are building blocks for other chemicals and aromatics that are used to produce polyester and other packaging materials. Naphtha is traditionally derived from crude oil and natural gas condensates but can now be produced from renewable feedstocks. Renewable naphtha from sustainable feeds such as used cooking oil has a 50%-80% lower GHG footprint compared to petroleum feeds, depending on the feedstock.

Prior to the introduction of renewable naphtha solution, the UOP Ecofining technology has been used to produce predominantly green diesel and green jet fuel, with small amounts of bio-naphtha being produced as a secondary product. The same Ecofining technology can be adapted to produce high yields of renewable naphtha as its predominant product, reflecting the versatility of the Ecofining design and ability to produce a range of products based on market needs.

“We are actively engaged with customers to drive new technology adoption, as renewable petrochemical feedstocks have grown in interest as consumers prefer more bio-based products,” said Ben Owens, Vice President and General Manager, Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions. “We see renewable naphtha produced from the UOP Ecofining process as a proven solution available today to help petrochemical producers reduce the carbon footprint of their products compared to using petroleum-based feeds.”
