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).

What are the different types of naptha?

There are two main types of naphtha: light naphtha and heavy naphtha. Light naphtha has a lower boiling point and is used as a feedstock for the production of petrochemicals, while heavy naphtha has a higher boiling point and is used as a feedstock for gasoline production.


How many barrels in one Metric Ton of light naphtha?

One metric ton of light naphtha is approximately equal to 7.33 barrels. This conversion can vary slightly based on the specific density of the naphtha, but 7.33 barrels is a commonly used estimate for light naphtha.


What color is naphtha?

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.

Antoine coefficients Light Naphtha?

The Antoine coefficients are empirical constants used in the Antoine equation to describe the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature for a given substance. For light naphtha, these coefficients enable the calculation of vapor pressure at various temperatures, which is crucial for processes like distillation and refining in the petrochemical industry. Typically, the coefficients are determined experimentally and can vary based on the specific composition of the naphtha. Generally, light naphtha has a boiling range of about 30°C to 90°C, and its vapor pressure characteristics are essential for safe handling and processing.


WHAT IS VM and P naptha?

VM Naphtha stands for Vaporizing Medium Naphtha, which is a type of light hydrocarbon solvent commonly used as a diluent or solvent in various applications such as paints, coatings, and cleaning agents. P Naphtha, on the other hand, refers to Petroleum Naphtha, another type of hydrocarbon solvent derived from crude oil and used for similar purposes as VM Naphtha.

Is naphtha and kerosene the same?

Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C. Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and 200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.
