Hydrocarbon Processing’s January 2024 edition featured an article by GTC Vorro Technology Director of Technology and Engineering, Zhepeng Liu. The article, titled ‘Optimizing petroleum naphtha,’ highlighted the significant improvements that can be achieved in petroleum naphtha.
“One of the interesting dimensions of chemical engineering is the management of processing operations related to the molecular composition of the raw material. Petroleum naphtha is one area where significant improvements can be achieved by changing the sequence of processing steps or altering the general scheme of processing altogether to take advantage of the natural distributions of components.”
