Refiners can use reformate, a blendstock derived from naphtha, but crude must run through other process units to get it, Heminger said. |

Catalytic reforming yields so-called reformate, which is rich in the aromatic compounds benzene, toluene and xylene. |
|
Whilst feedstock production is increasing, incremental availability may struggle to keep up with demand growth, with a shifting emphasis from pyrolysis gas to reformate. |
|
The company operates a 120,000-barrel-a-day refinery at the port of Jebel Ali that processes condensate into jet fuel, diesel and gasoline reformate. |
|
A new extraction unit will process yearly 1,300 tonnes of reformate. |
|
The upgrade will enable the refinery to produce high grade reformate. |
