                           First initiative under new licensing alliance between Honeywell?s UOP        and ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Company    

       
       

DES PLAINES, Ill. & FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UOP LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company, and ExxonMobil Research
      and Engineering Company (EMRE) announced today that Rafinerija Nafte
      Brod, Bosnia and Herzegovina?s sole oil refinery, has selected UOP and
      EMRE technology to improve the quality of refined lubricants and fuels.
   
   
      The licensing agreement is the first under a joint licensing alliance
      formed by Honeywell UOP and EMRE last year.
   
   
      The new technology will allow Rafinerija Nafte Brod to improve its
      product quality and environmental performance. The refiner will combine
      Honeywell UOP Unicracking? hydroprocessing solutions with EMRE?s
      distillate and lubricant de-waxing technologies to produce ultra-clean
      jet and diesel fuels and high-quality lubricant base stocks.
   
   
      Pete Piotrowski, vice president and general manager of Process
      Technology and Equipment for Honeywell?s UOP said, ?The new Unicracking
      complex will help the refinery increase their fuel and lube yields
      through an integrated and cost-effective approach.?
   
   
      ?The EMRE technology platform provides a one-stop solution for
      Rafinerija Nafte Brod?s hydroprocessing and fuel de-waxing needs,? said
      Vince Alberico, manager of Technology, Sales and Licensing for EMRE.
   
   
      The Unicracking complex will include Honeywell?s UOP two-stage
      Unicracking process integrated with EMRE?s MSDW? process for selective
      dewaxing lubricant feedstocks and EMRE?s MIDW? processes for dewaxing
      diesel feedstocks. The complex will upgrade more than 45,000 barrels per
      stream day of kerosene, diesel and vacuum gas oil feedstock into
      high-quality diesel and jet fuels. It will also produce high-quality
      base oils that will be used for the production of Group II and Group III
      lubricants at Refineria Ulia Modricha, which is part of the oil refining
      production chain in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The new complex is scheduled
      to start operations in 2016.
   
   
      Honeywell?s UOP Unicracking technology provides flexibility to upgrade a
      variety of feedstocks to high-quality, lighter transportation fuel
      products. It can also be used to produce low-sulfur naphthas for
      reforming into gasoline, or to upgrade FCC products for additional
      distillate production or sulfur removal.
   
   
      EMRE?s MSDW and MIDW processes are advanced proprietary technologies to
      optimize production of lubricants and distillate fuels. The MSDW process
      is designed to overcome high-sulfur environments and provides the
      highest yields and viscosity available in the industry. MIDW is a
      selective catalytic dewaxing process that can improve yields of
      high-quality diesel with excellent cold flow properties.
   
   
      Honeywell?s UOP has been developing and licensing hydroprocessing
      solutions, including advanced catalysts and specialty equipment, for
      nearly 100 years. As a major research and engineering organization, EMRE
      develops a broad spectrum of refining technologies to safely and
      reliably respond to an array of process challenges.
