In the petroleum industry, much research has been done on the upgrading of light hydrocarbons.The realisation that normal pentane is one of the most important remaining components of naphtha that can be easily upgraded prompted Phillips Petroleum to investigate the various processes for converting normal (linear) pentane into (branched) isopentane.
Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...
The Khark Petrochemical Company was established on Kharg Island in 1965, originally named the Khark Chemical Company. Its primary purpose was to recycle sour gas and various byproducts from Iranian offshore oil well gases, including propane, butane, naphtha, and sulfur. The company was founded as a 50/50 joint venture between NIOC and Amoco.
A natural-gas processing plant in Aderklaa, Austria. Natural-gas processing is a range of industrial processes designed to purify raw natural gas by removing contaminants such as solids, water, carbon dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), mercury and higher molecular mass hydrocarbons to produce pipeline quality dry natural gas [1] for pipeline distribution and final use.

Petroleum refinery in Anacortes, Washington, United States. Petroleum refining processes are the chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil and fuel oils.
Plant construction began in 1935; it officially opened in 1937, following the opening of the stone refinery in 1936. [5]In 1938, the plant produced its first 117 tons of racing oil; in 1939, the first stage of the plant was completed; in the late 1940s, the second stage (combined pyrolysis plant, sulfate phenol refining and bitumen plant) and the third stage (gas fractionation, polymerization ...
