UOP Confidential Information

• The R-284 increase in Total Aromatics of 0.5 wt% represents:

0.9% A8 increase (24.1 to 24.3% in above example)

1.7% A9 increase (14.8 to 15.1% in above example)

• For a typical 1000KMTA CCR Platformer that would mean an

additional 2KMTA A8’s for px production and an additional

2.5KMTA of A9’s that can be converted into A8’s and Benzene in the

Tatoray unit.
