Abstract
An integrated process for production of gasoline has been described. The process includes a C5-C6 isomerization zone with an associated deisohexanizer, two C7 isomerization zones separated by a deisoheptanizer, and a reforming zone. The use of two C7 isomerization zones eliminates the need for the large recycle stream from the deisoheptanizer. The C6 cycloalkanes and heavies from the deisohexanizer are fed to the second C7 isomerization zone to increase the amount of 95 RONC gasoline produced. A higher percentage of 95 RONC gasoline may be achieved by further recycling C6 from deisoheptanizer overhead back to C5-C6 isomerization zone. Higher gasoline yields and higher percentage of 95 RONC gasoline is achieved over the whole naphtha complex with operating costs savings by fully integrating the C5-C6 isomerization zone, two C7 isomerization zones, deisohexanizer and deisoheptanizer columns.
