Abstract
A process for the treatment of a light naphtha feedstock that comprises normal paraffins and iso-paraffins may include separating the feedstock into a first iso-paraffin stream and a normal paraffin stream. The separating may be performed with 5 A molecular sieves, a pressure of about 1-3 bars, and a temperature of 100-260° C. A product stream may be provided by subjecting the normal paraffin stream to at least one of steam cracking, isomerizing, and aromatizing.
Claims20
A process for treatment of a light naphtha feedstock, the process comprising:
- separating the light naphtha feedstock consisting of normal paraffins and iso-paraffins having 5 and 6 carbon atoms into an iso-paraffin stream and a normal paraffin stream consisting of 5 and 6 carbon atoms;
- aromatizing the normal paraffin stream to produce an aromatic stream and a non-aromatic stream;
- and
- steam cracking the non-aromatic stream to provide an olefinic stream.
