2020 REFINING PROCESSES HANDBOOK PROCESS CATEGORIES COMPANY INDEX TREATING, GAS/LIQUID Mericat™ J Kerosene treatment unit for jet fuel production Application: Sweetens heavy mercaptans in jet fuel and middle distillate streams. Description: MERICAT J technology employs the FIBER FILM® Contactor as the mass-transfer device, and utilizes a proprietary JeSOL™-9 solution as the treating reagent, along with air to oxidize heavy mercaptans in jet fuel and middle distillate streams without the need for a fixed-carbon bed. Advantages: Since there is not a fixed-carbon bed, there is no downtime for carbon change-out, significantly increasing the onstream factor. Additionally, there is no loss of sweetening activity over time since there is no aging carbon bed. Also not needed are the bed-cleaning activities-caustic washes, hot water washes and catalyst reimpregnations. The use of the non-dispersive FIBER FILM Contactor results in reduced CAPEX and less plant space requirements compared to most treating alternatives. These benefits make MERICAT J a better and cleaner alternative to carbon bed technology. Merichem even provides the fresh JeSOL-9 solution and takes back the spent solution so the refinery does not have to dispose of the spent stream.
