The association between exposure to naphtha and neurobehavioural measures was examined prospectively over one year among workers employed at an automotive plant that used naphtha to calibrate fuel injectors. The neurobehavioural tests included those that assess mood, basic intelligence, and functioning of the cerebral frontal lobes and limbic system and were designed so that acute, reversible, ...

Twelve crude oil blends prepared from seven individual oils and an imported atmospheric residue were characterized through a true boiling point (TBP) distillation analysis their density. When comparing the measured TBP fraction yields with those estimated application of additive blending rule, it was found that, for four blends, rule valid, while remaining eight deviations ones bigger than anal...

The hydrocracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with vacuum gas oil (VGO) has been studied to assess the effect H2 pressure on yield and composition products aim obtaining commercial fuels, mainly naphtha. experiments have performed using a PtPd/HY catalyst in semibatch reactor under following conditions: pressure, 20–110 bar; 440 °C; feed ratio, 0.1 gcat (gfeed)−1; HDPE total 0.2...

This work investigated the steady state and dynamic simulation of a fixed bed industrial naphtha reforming reactors. The performance of the reactor was investigated using a heterogeneous model. For process simulation, the differential equations are solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method .The models were validated against measured process data of an existing naphtha reforming plant. The r...
