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 />
