The naphthas can be used immediately for blending into different grades of petrol or can go through a process known as reforming. Reforming produces a product known as reformed gasoline with an octane number of 115. The yields of reformed gasoline from each barrel of the different naphthas are given below:
|
1 barrel of light naphtha yields 0.6 barrels of reformed gasoline; |
|
1 barrel of medium naphtha yields 0.52 barrels of reformed gasoline; |
|
1 barrel of heavy naphtha yields 0.45 barrels of reformed gasoline. |
