N2 - The first commercially viable solid-acid catalyst for isoparaffin alkylation is developed by simultaneously applying basic engineering concepts at many scales during process development. The pore structure, the acid site density, and the active site distribution are optimized to achieve the desired isomeric products, while resisting coking. Concurrent reactor design further enhances product quality, while reducing capital cost. The result is a "green" process that eliminates the hazards of liquid-acid catalysts, while also reducing cost.
