COMBINED ISOMERIZATION OF OVERHEAD CUTS OF STRAIGHT-RUN NAPHTHA AND REFORMATE
Technology was developed for combined isomerization of IBP-85 degrees C overhead cuts of straight-run naphtha and reformate to reduce the benzene content in automotive gasolines. In comparison to the traditional technology, this technology ensures a benzene content below 0.7% and a 1-2-point increase in the octane number (ON) of commercial gasolines.
