HOUSTON, Aug. 3 -- PetroChina Co. Ltd. will use Axens technology for deep hydrodesulfurization of FCC gasoline in new units at two refineries.

It will install a 32,800-b/d unit using Axens Prime-G+ technology at its Jinxi Petrochemical Complex and an 18,200-b/d unit at its Dagang Petrochemical Complex in Tianjin Municipality.

When the units are on stream, gasoline pool sulfur content will be less than 50 ppm at Jinxi and 25 ppm at Daqang, Axens said.
