Technology Licensing Overview

For our worldwide clientele in the hydrocarbon processing industry, we offer more than 25 licensed technologies to increase capacity, improve efficiency, and maximize production.  Our patented suite of technologies fall broadly into the petrochemical, refinery, gas processing, and polyester Intermediates market segments.

 

GTC's petrochemical technologies available for license focus on value-added products from the steam cracker including BTX, styrene, naphthalene and various C₅'s.  It is important for crackers using liquid feedstocks to upgrade all of the by-products in order to maintain competitiveness with the crackers using low-cost ethane feedstock.  

 

Our refining technologies upgrade fuel streams into higher-value products or petrochemicals.  These processes include CCR naphtha reforming, light naphtha isomerization and direct recovery of BTX from FCC gasoline.  GTC's portfolio also includes a range of processes for meeting the clean fuels mandate for benzene reduction and low-sulfur products.  

 

In the polyester value chain, GTC presents a newly pioneered approach that can eliminate the traditional intermediates with distinctive break points between raw material and end products.  We offer a hybrid scheme for PX manufacturing and mixed acid co-production to special products, among others.  

 

GTC's gas processing technologies include CO₂ capture and removal from flue gas, with an experience base in large scale units.  For sour gas streams, we offer a single-step Claus-type process for H₂S removal, illustrating some of the unique advantages our technology can bring to clients' facilities.
