Description

A complex combination of Hydrocarbons produced by the Distillation of products from the Catalytic Reforming of Naphtha. It consists of Hydrocarbons having Carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C4 through C12 and boiling in the range of approximately 32 °C to 211 °C (90 °F to 430 °F). It contains a relatively large proportion of Aromatic and Branched Chain Hydrocarbons. This Stream may contain 10 vol. % or more Benzene.[1]
