| Description |
Light naphtha is used as a fuel in thermal power plant, furnaces of fertilizer plants and reformer units of
the petrochemical plants. The advantage of burning naphtha is that it readily volatilizes, causes lesser
deposits and produces more heat than the heavier fuel like diesel and furnace oils. However, cracked
naphtha from thermal and catalytic cracking units contains very high proportion of olefins, which leads to
storage stability problems due to formation of gummy deposits and choking of burner nozzles at high
furnace temperature. It also adversely affects the thermal efficiency of the furnace. To improve the
storage and thermo-oxidative stability pf cracked naphtha we evaluated several additives both
synthesized in the lab and commercial ones. The evaluation was carried out by standard method using
panel cocker test. In this paper the performance and improvement in thermo-oxidative stability of cracked
naphtha by using additives is described. Doped naphtha showed substantial improvement in thermooxidative
stability.
