Sub-Product

Hydrocracked naphtha is a petroleum product produced from the hydrocracking process. It is a light petroleum distillate with a boiling range similar to naphtha. Specifically:

• Hydrocrackate naphtha is produced by hydrocracking heavier petroleum fractions into lighter products
• It consists mainly of hydrocarbons in the C₅-C₁₂ range
• It has a higher content of isoparaffins and naphthenes compared to straight-run naphtha
• It is used as a gasoline blending component or as a petrochemical feedstock
• The hydrocracking process gives it a higher octane number than straight-run naphtha

Hydrocrackate naphtha provides refiners with a high-quality gasoline blendstock that can help meet fuel specifications. Its composition makes it valuable for improving gasoline octane ratings and as a feedstock for processes like catalytic reforming.
