Abstract

A process for concurrently fractionating and hydrotreating of a full range naphtha stream. The full boiling range naphtha stream is subjected to simultaneous hydrodesulfurization and splitting into a light boiling range naphtha and a heavy boiling range naphtha. The two boiling range naphthas are treated separately according to the amount of sulfur in each cut and the end use of each fraction.
