Dakota Gasification Naphtha

Dakota Gasification Company's naphtha is much different from petroleum derived naphtha. It is composed of over 60 percent aromatics and is much closer to a BTX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene) blend stock. The product is a white to straw colored, mobile, flammable, or combustible liquid with an aromatic odor. The naphtha is extracted from the raw synthesis gas after the gasification process in the rectisol unit.Dakota Gas naphtha is used as a feedstock in refineries where the benzene is extracted for purification. The remainder of the stream is refined and blended into gasoline, diesel, and other high value products.Typical composition of the BTX components in our naphtha is 44 percent benzene, 17 percent toluene, and 3.1 percent xylenes.
