    Characteristics: C5 Petrochemical Product

    Uploaded by

    Peter Panda
    The document discusses C5, a by-product of naphtha cracking that LOTTE Chemical transforms into higher value products through an isoprene project. Specifically, it produces isoprene monomer (IPM), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and isoprene polymer (PIP) from C5, strengthening its business portfolio. IPM is a colorless liquid mainly used as a raw material for synthetic rubber in automobile tires and adhesives in sanitary products like diapers.

    C5

    The C5 fraction is a co-product of naphtha cracking and is used as a raw


    material for synthetic rubber and petroleum resins.
    Characteristics

    The C5 (C5) fraction is a co-product of naphtha cracking and is used as a


    raw material for synthetic rubber and petroleum resins

    Applications

    Isoprene materials, petroleum resin materials.

    C5 Petrochemical Product

    C5, a by-product of NC (Naphtha Cracker), was mostly sold for gasoline blending in the
    past as it was not easy to decompose or recycle.
    LOTTE Chemical introduced the C5-based production process to the Yeosu Plant
    through the Isoprene Project, and
    C5 was transformed into the raw material for high value-added products such as IPM,
    DCPD, and PIP.
    IPM

    Isoprene Monomer
    Isoprene Monomer(IPM) is a colorless and volatile liquid mainly used as raw material for
    synthetic rubber and adhesive products.
    LOTTE Chemical began the commercial production of IPM, DCPD, and PIP in 2017
    through the Isoprene Project,
    which utilizes C5 mixed oil, to strengthen profitability of its business portfolio.

    Sulfur (content)

    Also known as: Sulphur content

    Sulfur is an element commonly found in crude oil and petroleum products.


    Sulfur is considered an undesirable contaminant because, when burned, it
    generates sulfur oxides. Consequently, most finished petroleum products
    have a limit on how much sulfur they can contain, making sulfur removal an
    important part of the overall refinery process. Sulfur can also harm some of
    the catalysts used in refining process units so it must be removed from some
    intermediate streams before they can be fed to a conversion unit.

    As a general rule, a crude oil grade with high sulfur content will have a lower
    value. This type of crude is often referred to as a sour crude.

    Most of the sulfur in crude oil is removed during processing. Some of it is


    removed in conversion processes as hydrocarbon molecules that contain
    sulfur are cracked and form H2S. Sulfur is also removed directly by
    processing a hydrocarbon stream through hydrotreating, where the sulfur in
    the hydrocarbon is replaced with a hydrogen atom, and the released sulfur is
    combined with two free hydrogens to form H2S gas.

    H2S gas is typically collected from the various conversion and hydrotreating
    units and converted into elemental sulfur in a sulfur plant.

    Once separated, sulfur can be sold as a low-value sulfur product, either as


    solid sulfur or in a molten state. The major use for sulfur is in the
    petrochemicals industry to produce sulfuric acid.

    Sulfuric acid
    Sulfuric acid is both a catalyst used in the alkylation process and a product made from
    the sulfur recovered by refiners.
