Products.
As stated earlier, average yield product from this plant was 150 g. per m3 of synthesis gas. At times, under good operating conditions, the yield would be as high as 160-165 g. per m3.
The products obtained from the primary product, aside from the gasol (C3-C4) fraction, are approximately as follows:
Benzine | 20-25% |
Diesel Oil | 30% |
Heavy Oil | 25% |
Paraffin | 20-25% |
The benzin shows an octane number of 40-45, the Diesel oil has a cetane number of 100, and the paraffin wax is quite hard, having a melting point of 60-70ºC. and an initial boiling point of approximately 350ºC. At one time, this pant attempted to crack the benzin in order to obtain motor fuel with a higher octane number, but losses were too high, so this was abandoned.
