Best Answer

There is not one (sharp) boiling point (at standard pressure) because naphta is an oily mixture of mainly hydrocarbons found in fossile oil. The b.p. is dependant of the composition of that mixture.

In petroleum engineering, full range naphtha is defined as the fraction of hydrocarbons in petroleum boiling between 30°C and 200°C.

It consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbon molecules generally having between 5 and 12 carbon atoms. In crude oil it typically constitutes 15-30% by weight.

Light naphtha is the fraction boiling between 30°C and 90°C and consists of molecules with 5-6 carbon atoms. Heavy naphtha boils between 90°C and 200°C and consists of molecules with 6-12 carbons.

What is unstabilized naphtha?

Unstabalized naphtha (also known as light naphtha) consists of the light components of a crude oil distillation which have not yet had the C4 components removed from it. Unstabalized naphtha is fed to a tall distillation column (approximately 20-30 trays) known as a debutanizer where all C4 components (and any lighter boiling point components) are removed. The bottom product of a debutanizer is stabilized naphtha.

What is light coker naphtha?

Coker naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon product of a delayed coker unit. The boiling point is closest to that of gasoline. In some cases the delayed coker unit will contain a unit operation called a naphtha splitter, in which the coker naphtha is distilled by fractional distillation into light and heavy coker naphtha. The heavy coker naphtha may be discarded back into the light coker gasoil or used as an intermediate elsewhere the in refinery. A naphtha splitter is often required when the cut point of naphtha at the refinery is "low" (approximately less than 135°C). Low naphtha cut points are the result of stringent environmental regulations. Since most of the sulfur is in the heaviest third of the total gasoline, excluding it from the gasoline blending pool may be the easiest way to comply with strict environmental regulations. In this case the higher sulfur heavy coker naphtha may be discarded as a blending component for synthetic crude oil or blending with light cycle oil (LCO).
