NAPHTHA CRACKING AND HYDROPROCESSING PROCESS FOR LOW EMISSIONS, HIGH OCTANE FUELS

摘要

The invention is related to a two step process wherein the first step comprises cracking an olefinic naphtha resulting in a cracked product having a diminished total concentration of olefinic species. The second step comprises hydroprocessing at least a portion of the cracked product, especially a naphtha fraction, to provide a hydroprocessed cracked product having a reduced concentration of contaminant species but without a substantial octane reduction.
