3. NAPHTHA
• Naphtha is naturally
occuring liquid
petroleum.
• Naphtha is a complex
mixture of
hydrocarbon.
• Naphtha is produced
by distillation of crude
oil.
3
4. PROPERTY OF NAPHTHA
• Boiling range of naphtha's are 85 ⁰c to 200 ⁰c.
• Naphtha is a colorless to reddish brown liquid.
• Naphtha is a volatile aromatic compound also.
• Naphtha is light poisonous also.
4
5. CLASSIFICATION OF NAPHTHA
• Naphtha fraction boils below 100 ⁰c is
called light naphtha.
• Naphtha fraction boils above 100 ⁰c to
below 150 ⁰c is called intermediate.
• Naphtha fraction boils above 150 ⁰c is
called heavy naphtha.

6. CRACKING
• It is a process where
long chain
hydrocarbon breaks
in to lighter
hydrocarbon.
• Cracking rate is
strongly depends
upon catalyst and
temperature.

7. NEED FOR CRACKING
• For producing petrol
the most valuable
fraction is naphtha.
• It is used as feedstock in
petroleum industry.
• To produce most
valuable from valuable
product.

9. HYDROCRACKING
• It is carried out with presence of hydrogen.
• The pressure of reactor is 80 atm.
• It is also used for cracking of heavy gas
oil.
9
10. CATALYTIC CRACKING
• the feed stock is gas
oil.
• The temperature of
the reactor is 450 ⁰c
to 550 ⁰c
• After cracking the
catalyst is separated
from product.

11. STEAM CRACKING
• It is most technically
complex plant.
• It is energy intensive
plant in chemical
industry.
• It is operated at 100 K
to 1400 K.
• Pressure of steam
distillation is 100 atm.

13. PROCESS OF STEAM CRACKING
NAPHTHA
PYROLYSIS SECTION
FRACTIONAL AND
SEPRATION SECTION PRODUCT RECOVERY
13
14. PYROLYSIS SECTION
• It is carried out in a tube steal furnace.
• The temperature of the furnace is 800 ⁰c.
• Steam to naphtha ratio is 0.6 kg/kg.

15. PRODUCT OUT FROM CRACKING
NAPHTHA
product out
ethylene -> 24%
propylene -> 20%
butadiene -> 3%
ether -> 25%
other -> 27%
BTX -> 1%

16. USE OF NAPHTHA
• Naptha is used as gasoline at high octane
number.
• Naptha is used as solvent steam cracker in
industry.
• Thinner for paints, varnishes.
• Used for commercial solvent like rubber.
16
17. CONCLUSION
• Naphthas are called petroleum ether,
petroleum sprit, mineral spirits, paraffin,
benzene, white oils and refined solvent.
