I’d like to ask the experts: where does the benzene go in the reprocessing facility?

As the title suggests, if the benzene in the reformation unit does not pass through the extraction unit, where does it go then? I hope a senior who knows the answer can help clarify it. Thank you
It must be extracted; whether it’s used to produce gasoline later or as a raw material for PX plants, it’s impossible to proceed without extracting benzene first
If benzene is not extracted and used directly in oil blending, can its content be kept under control? Or are there other uses?
Many local refineries in Shandong have reforming units, but no dedicated benzene extraction facilities; I’ve never been able to figure out where the benzene goes
One possibility then is to adjust the initial boiling point of the reformation feed to over 90 degrees, thereby moving benzene into the category of light naphtha. The benzene content in the reformed product at the later stage must be significantly reduced, right?
It is sufficient to ensure that the benzene content in gasoline is less than 1.0%
Thank you for clarifying that. Once benzene is converted into light naphtha, what is the use of that resulting product?

If that’s the procedure, then gasoline can be adjusted later
I’m sorry, I expressed myself incorrectly. What I actually want to ask is: since benzene has ended up in the light naphtha, what should be done with that light naphtha next? Where will the benzene inside end up?
