Description

The BTEX Complex is a Hydrocarbon mixture of Benzene, Toluene, Xylene and Ethylbenzene. These Compounds are refined from Low-Octane Petroleum Products into a High-Octane Gasoline Additive. While some volume of BTEX is native to Gasoline, it is also added to Finished Gasoline to boost its Octane Rating. The total volume of BTEX (Aromatics) in Finished Gasoline depends on the desired Octane Value and other desired Fuel Properties.
