- Description
-
Light Catalytic Naphtha (LCN) is a fraction of naphtha boiling between 30°C and 90°C, consisting of molecules with 5-6 carbon atoms. This fraction is produced through the catalytic cracking process, which converts heavy gas oil into lighter products, including naphtha as shown in the attached image[2].
Composition
The composition of light catalytic naphtha varies depending on the specific process and stream. However, it is generally characterized as:
- Paraffins: 55%
- Olefins: negligible
- Naphthenes: 40%
- Aromatics: 5%
- Density: 0.664 (Stream: Light SR)
Usage
Light cut catalytic naphtha is primarily used as a feedstock for producing high-octane gasoline through the catalytic reforming process. This process involves the conversion of naphtha into higher-octane gasoline blending components.
