- Description
-
Pyrolysis Gasoline is a Naphtha-range product with high Aromatics content. It is a by-product of high-temperature Naphtha cracking during Ethylene and Propylene production. Also, it is a high octane number mixture that contains Aromatics, Olefins (Alkenes), and Paraffins (Alcanes) ranging from C5s to C12s. PyGas has high potential for use as a Gasoline blending mixture and/or as a source of Aromatics. Currently, PyGas is generally used as a Gasoline blending mixture due to its high octane number. Depending on the feedstock used to produce the Olefins, Steam-Cracking can produce a Benzene-rich liquid by-product called Pyrolysis Gasoline. Pyrolysis Gasoline can be blended with other hydrocarbons as a Gasoline additive, or distilled (in BTX process) to separate it into its components, including Benzene.
