Products in Refining & Gas Processing: Solvent

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.

Metafrax Trading International SA Technical Methanol is a colorless, flammable poisonous liquid.

Altivia Diisobutyl Carbinol, Technical Grade (DIBC) is a transparent, colorless liquid with a sweet odor. DIBC is a high-boiling, slow evaporating solvent that is very slightly soluble in water, but is miscible with most organic solvents. DIBC has low surface tension and is a non-HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) solvent. It is commonly used as an extraction solvent for multiple applications including acetic acid and ethanol from aqueous solution, ethyl acetone from methyl ethyl ketone, and many others. DIBC can also be used as a solvent for hydrogen peroxide manufacture, lacquers, shellac, printing inks, and alkyd resins. Diisobutyl Carbinol is also referred to as DIBC; 2,6 dimethyl-4- heptanol; Nonyl Alcohol; and Dimethyl Heptanol.
