UOP Technology to Help Trinidad and Tobago's Petrotrin Produce Clean Burning, High Octane Gasoline; Technology to be installed at Petrotrin's Pointe-a-Pierre refinery.

DES PLAINES, Ill. -- UOP LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE:HON) company, announced it will provide key technology processes to Petrotrin, the national petroleum company of Trinidad and Tobago, as part of the company's comprehensive three-year gasoline optimization program for its Pointe-a-Pierre refinery in South Trinidad.

UOP will provide Petrotrin technology for a CCR Platforming(TM) unit with a Chlorsorb(TM) system for reforming naphtha to produce high-octane fuel; a Penex(TM) unit for producing clean-burning gasoline; and a Merox(TM) unit for cleaning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). UOP will also revamp a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit used to convert vacuum gas oil to gasoline, and upgrade the FCC unit with a third stage separator (TSS).

The technology upgrade is part of Petrotrin's strategic plan of maintaining the position of the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery as the premier refining center in the Caribbean, supplying high-quality, clean fuels to the local, regional and international markets. Petrotrin, of Trinidad and Tobago, has launched a three-year gasoline optimization program that includes the construction or revamping of eight major plants, along with associated utilities and supporting units. UOP technology will be used at four of the eight plants.

UOP is also extensively involved in the revamping of existing FCC units. During the past 15 years, UOP's Engineering department has undertaken between 40 to 60 revamp projects or studies annually.

UOP TSS technology is operating in two units with another five in design and construction. There are more than 120 Penex units and 200 CCR Platforming units in operation today and more than 40 CCR Platforming units in design and construction.
