WHAT IS CLAY BED REFINERY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUEL?

The conventional Merox process patented by UOP (United Oil Products) is designed for the removal of mercaptans from kerosene. The importance of purifying Jet fuel of water contamination is of utmost importance in this process and therefore, it goes through different stages of purification, The presence of any moisture can potentially result in blocked fuel inlet pipes, corrosion by admitting growth of microorganisms and irregular exercise of fuel-quantity probes. The [...]

THE MEROX PROCESS

Merox stands for “Mercaptan Oxidation”. It is a proprietary catalytic chemical practice refined by UOPs used in oil refineries and natural gas distillation plants to extract mercaptans from LPG, propane, butanes, light naphthas, kerosene and jet fuel by transforming them to liquid hydrocarbon desulphides. The Merox Process was first developed in 1958 but newer modifications took place as time progressed. The merox process is an extraction and sweetening process essential [...]
