Dear experts, I need help understanding the differences between hydrogenated naphtha and gasoline
Gasoline that is considered substandard is commonly known as naphtha; gasoline that meets national standards is the standard gasoline
Naphtha is a type of gasoline and an important component in the formulation of gasoline; it is also known as light gasoline. Hydrogenated naphtha has low levels of sulfur and nitrogen, and can be used as feedstock for units such as reformers and isomerizers. It can also be combined with alkylated gasoline and MTBE to produce gasoline that meets the standards of Grade 5. Hydrogenated naphtha does not meet the standards for use in automobile engines in terms of either octane rating or boiling range, so it can only be blended and used.
What can generally be sold as a commodity for delivery is called gasoline, while the intermediate product is called naphtha; their component boiling ranges are roughly similar.
