Alkylation unit

Chemically alkylation refers to a wider class of reaction then the specific ones described. Olefins, such as propylene and butylenes are produced by catalytic and thermal cracking.  An alkylation unit within a refinery refers to the process using sulphuric or hydro-fluoric acid as a catalyst to combine these olefins with isobutane to produce a high octane product known as alkylate.
