LIGHT NAPTHA
Light naphtha is the fraction boiling between 30 °C and 90 °C and consists of molecules with 5–6 carbon atoms. Heavy naphtha boils between 90 °C and 200 °C and consists of molecules with 6–12 carbon atoms.
METHANOL
Methanol is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula CH3OH it is a light, volatile, colorless and flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odor similar to that of ethanol but is more acutely toxic than the latter. Methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood.
Methanol consists of a methyl group linked to a polar hydroxyl group. With more than 20 million tons produced annually, it is used as a precursor to other commodity chemicals, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl benzoate, anisole, peroxyacids, as well as a host of more specialised chemicals.
GASOLINE
Gasoline is a fuel made from crude oil and other petroleum liquids. Gasoline is mainly used in vehicle engines. Petroleum refineries and blending facilities produce finished motor gasoline for retail sale at gasoline fueling stations.
​
FUEL OIL
Fuel Oil consists mainly of residues from crude-oil distillation. It is used primarily for steam boilers in power plants, aboard ships, and in industrial plants. Commercial fuel oils usually are blended with other petroleum fractions to produce the desired viscosity and flash point.
LPG
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), any of several liquid mixtures of the volatile hydrocarbons propene, propane, butene, and butane. It was used as early as 1860 for a portable fuel source, and its production and consumption for both domestic and industrial use have expanded ever since. A typical commercial mixture may also contain ethane and ethylene, as well as a volatile mercaptan, an odorant added as a safety precaution.
GAS OIL
Gas oil is a commercial fuel used as an alternative to road diesel. It has a lower tax duty and thus comes coloured red (leading to the name, red dye diesel) to help identify it’s usage by Customs & Excise (HMRC). If a vehicle is suspected of using gas oil illegally, such as in vehicles used on public roads. The red dye will stain the fuel tank giving away its prior use within the vehicle.
PARAXYLENE
Para-Xylene (PX) is a C8 aromatic compound that is used exclusively as an intermediate feedstock for polyester production via purified terephthalic acid (PTA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT).
​
Para-xylene is a versatile chemical feedstock used in the large-scale synthesis of countless polymers including PTA and PET for applications such as textiles, plastic packaging, clothing, automotive components, and more.
​
It is mostly produced from cracking of naphtha, but there is a need for new and cost-effective methods for the production. Toluene alkylation with methanol over an alumino-silicate zeolite catalyst, such as ZSM-5, produces a mixture of xylene isomers with low p-xylene selectivity.
