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.

Dakota Gasification Company's phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a colorless to light pink, deliquescent (absorbs moisture from the air and becomes liquid) crystalline material with a sweet, tarry smell. Dakota Gas purifies its phenol from the gas liquor stream produced during the gasification process.The majority of Dakota Gas' phenol is sold into the phenolic resin market.Dakota Gas' phenol is created from naturally occurring coal in which the process has fewer emissions than synthetically produced phenol.
