With tighter margins and increasing regulations, the refining industry has become a challenging industrial market sector. There is increasing demand for efficient refining processes that yield higher quality and environmentally acceptable products. In late 2009, Badger and ExxonMobil met the challenge, offering BenzOUT™ Technology to the refining industry. This technology allows refiners a cost effective solution to lower benzene content in gasoline without utilizing hydrogen while increasing the volume and octane value of the gasoline pool.
