Feed quality Distillation range<br />

• The feed distillation range is generally as follows:<br />

• IBP (Initial Boiling Point) 70-100<br />

°C<br />

• EP (End Boiling Point) 150-180<br />

180 °C<br />

• Light fractions:<br />

Cyclization of C6 more difficult than that of C7-C8<br />

C8<br />

The lighter the feed, the higher the required<br />

severity for a given Octane<br />

• Heavy fractions:<br />

high naphthenic <strong>and</strong> aromatics content<br />

Lower severity to obtain good yields<br />

But polycyclic compounds which favor coke deposit<br />

EP higher than 180°C are generally not recommended<br />
