  • FLOW CONTROL TO MEET E70 GASOLINE SPECIFICATIONS
    Publication number: 20180340125
    Abstract: A process is presented for recovering the components for a gasoline blending pool to meet the E70 specifications. The process includes the separation of the naphtha feedstock into a light naphtha stream and a heavy naphtha stream. The process further includes separating the light naphtha stream to recovery high quality non-normal hydrocarbons having normal boiling points above 70° C., and to separate for adding to the feed to the reforming unit, hydrocarbons that have lower boiling points.

  • Process for maximizing diesel production using a heavy heavy naphtha stream
    Patent number: 9914891
    Abstract: Methods of maximizing diesel production are describes. The methods include providing a stream of heavy heavy naphtha; and blending the stream of heavy heavy naphtha with a diesel stream from the crude distillation zone to increase diesel production while maintaining the blended diesel stream within a specification for diesel. Various apparatus for maximizing diesel production are also described.

  • Process and apparatus for recovering and blending hydroprocessed hydrocarbons and composition
    Patent number: 9447341
    Abstract: A process and apparatus provides for blending a heavy naphtha stream with a diesel stream to increase the yield of diesel. The diesel stream is recovered separately from a kerosene stream to leave the kerosene stream undiminished. The blended diesel provides a valuable composition.
