Best Answer

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.

Which fraction of crude oil provides the chemical feedstock for the petrochemical industry?

Naphtha often provides feedstock to the petrochemical industry. This is especially true in countries in which the vehicle fleet is centered on diesel fuel (such as European countries). The United States has historically had a vehicle fleet balanced between gasoline and diesel fuels, resulting in the maximization of naphtha blended into the motor fuels pool. Therefore, most of the petrochemicals in the U.S. are produced by turning natural gas into ethylene. As of 2012 the U.S. is undergoing a slight dieselisation of its vehicle fleet; however, natural gas prices at 10 year lows continue to make natural gas the most cost effective route for producing petrochemicals in the U.S.


How do you increase the flash point in diesel oil?

A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.


What is the effect of olefin concentration on naphtha hydrotreating process?

Hydrotreating reaction is an exothermic reaction. The total reaction provides excess reaction heat; more is produced by the exothermic hydrogenation reactions than are required to support the endothermic cracking reactions.High Olefin conc. leads to high temp. rise due to hydrogenation reaction.This excess heat increases the reactor temperature and accelerates the reaction rate. Temperature rise can be controlled by injecting cold hydrogen or cold recycled quench into the reactors to absorb excess reaction heat.

What can made from naphtha?

Naphtha may be a solvent used in oil-based paint, but it will not function by itself as paint. Because of the environmental impact of the release of volatile organic compounds into the air, the use in paint of solvents such as naphtha is discouraged, and is regulated in some jurisdictions.
