Abstract
The company UOP has developed the technology that is currently used to produce 60% of gasoline, 85% of biodegradable detergents and 60% of the paraxylene used worldwide. In recent years, UOP has been interested in alternative fuels and has found a way to manufacture some products derived from palm oil and pyrolysis, such as green diesel and green jet fuel, whose contribution to the greenhouse effect is less than that of fossil fuels. This article details these products. La compañía UOP desarrolla tecnología con la que en la actualidad se produce el 60 por ciento de la gasolina, el 85 por ciento de los detergentes biodegradables y el 60 por ciento del paraxyleno que se consumen en el mundo. En los últimos años, se ha interesado por los combustibles alternativos y ha encontrado la forma de fabricar unos derivados de los productos del aceite de palma y de la pirólisis, como diesel verde y jet verde, cuya huella de gases de efecto invernadero es menor que la de los combustibles fósiles. En este artículo se detallan tales productos.
