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 5A 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.
Claims16
A process for the treatment of a light naphtha feedstock, the process comprising:
- separating the light naphtha feedstock comprising normal paraffins and iso-paraffins having 5 or 6 carbon atoms into an iso-paraffin stream and a normal paraffin stream consisting of paraffins having 5 and 6 carbon atoms;
- at least one of steam cracking and aromatizing the normal paraffin stream to produce a product stream.
A process for the treatment of a light naphtha feedstock, the process comprising:
- separating the feedstock comprising normal paraffins and iso-paraffins into a first iso-paraffin stream and a normal paraffin stream consisting of 5 and 6 carbon atoms with 5A molecular sieves at a pressure of about 1-3 bars and a temperature of 20-260° C.;
- and
- aromatizing the normal paraffin stream to produce an aromatic stream and a non-aromatic stream.
