GTC Technology to Expand Technology Portfolio

Houston, Texas, March 20, 2008 - GTC Technology US, LLC (GTC) today announced the expansion of their technology portfolio to include GT-BenZap®, a benzene saturation process. This new technology was designed as a low cost alternative for lower-capacity refineries, to enable them to comply with EPA’s mobile source air toxics regulations (MSAT II). GT-BenZap offers a simple solution through hydroprocessing, and can be adapted to retrofit existing refinery units.

“Normally we advocate benzene extraction and recovery to meet the new MSAT II regulations, however we have found that in some situations depending on scale or supply chain logistics, benzene saturation is desirable. GTC can work with customers on either extraction or saturation to solve this problem. In addition, GTC can supply modular construction options to speed implementation,” said Ron Cormier, Director of Business Development.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, GTC Technology US, LLC is a global licensor of process technologies, offering engineering services, process equipment solutions, chemicals and catalysts to the chemical, petrochemical, refining and gas processing markets. With engineering, manufacturing facilities and a knowledgeable sales force located throughout the globe, GTC combines unparalleled industry expertise, powerful research capabilities and innovative thinking to deliver high-quality, strategic solutions for clients worldwide. www.gtctech.com
