The issue of the destination of light naphtha produced by hydrocracking
Thread Content
Our plant does not have an ethylene unit. I would like to ask how the light naphtha produced by hydrocracking should be handled? ?
It can also be restructured; it’s fine even if no refined oil blending has been done
I was wrong; that’s heavy naphtha. Light naphtha is used for isomerization
It can be aromatized; otherwise, adjust the gasoline
Go for dehydrogenation, or aromatization!
Heavy stones are used for reorganization; light stones cause isomerization issues
1. Blended gasoline could be considered. 2. If the quality of the light naphtha isn’t good enough, the production process can be optimized by adding a light naphtha distillation tower to separate it into C5 and C6 fractions for sale as chemical raw materials. 3. Isomerization or aromatization can be employed
It can be used as a gasoline blending component, but the C4 content must be controlled, especially in summer, as a high content of light components affects the saturated vapor pressure of gasoline.
