ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company and Honeywell′s UOP Form Strategic Alliance
Alliance to jointly market and license lube and fuel production
technologies
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (EMRE) and Honeywell′s UOP
have formed a joint marketing and licensing alliance to deliver a
comprehensive suite of lube and advanced fuels hydroprocessing and
engineering capabilities to companies in the refining sector.
The effort aligns EMRE's hydroprocessing technology for producing base
oils for use in motor oil with UOP′s hydroprocessing solutions that
produce high-quality feedstocks, resulting in high yields of premium
quality lubricants. The alliance will also offer EMRE's fuels dewaxing
technologies which, used in conjunction with UOP hydroprocessing
solutions, produce high yields of ultra-low sulfur diesel with excellent
cetane and low temperature flow properties.
'This alliance will offer a host of optimized solutions to fuels and
lubes refining customers by combining the complementary hydroprocessing
technologies of both EMRE and UOP in one comprehensive package,? said
EMRE President T. J. Wojnar.
As part of the alliance, EMRE and UOP will provide an integrated process
design solution for the licensed technologies with a single engineering
package to licensees. EMRE offerings covered by the agreement include
hydrocracking and other hydroprocessing solutions for fuels and lubes,
such as Mobil Selective DeWaxing ('MSDW?) for lubes, and Mobil
Isomerization DeWaxing ('MIDW?) for fuels. The alliance is limited to
marketing, licensing, engineering package delivery and providing
catalysts for fuels and lubricants hydroprocessing opportunities.
