  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF RENEWABLE NAPHTHA WITH INCREASED OCTANE NUMBER
    Publication number: 20260347707
    Abstract: The present application is directed to a process for increasing Anti-Knock Index (AKI) rating in a renewable naphtha having an initial AKI rating. The process comprises fractionating the renewable naphtha under conditions sufficient to form a light renewable naphtha fraction and a heavy renewable fraction. The light renewable fraction often comprises C4-C6 normal paraffins while the heavy renewable naphtha fraction usually comprises C7-C9 normal paraffins. Advantageously, the light renewable naphtha fraction has an AKI rating which is above the initial AKI rating of the renewable naphtha making the light renewable fraction more suitable for blending into gasoline at higher amounts.
