Description
🌟 Comprehensive Introduction to Nouri Petrochemical Raffinate (Nouri Raffinate)
Presented by Alkimia, the official supplier of petrochemical products from Iran
🔍 What is Raffinate and Why is it Important?
Raffinate is a light hydrocarbon fraction derived from refining streams rich in aromatic compounds. After the removal of aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes, the remaining by-product—raffinate—retains high economic and industrial value.
Depending on its composition, raffinate can contain a high percentage of paraffins (up to 92%), a specific amount of naphthenics, and a small percentage of olefins and aromatics. This unique composition makes raffinate a widely used material in the fuel and petrochemical industries, as well as in gasoline blending formulations.

⚙️ Technical Interpretation of Key Properties
- High Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) indicates high volatility, which is important for gasoline blending.
- A wide boiling point range (32°C to 125°C) allows multipurpose use as feedstock or fuel.
- Low density improves performance as a light fuel.
- Extremely low sulfur content (less than 5 ppm) meets global environmental standards.
- An octane number below 75 limits its use in premium fuels but makes it suitable for blending with octane boosters.
🛠️ Industrial Applications of Raffinate
- Feedstock for Petrochemical Units
With its controlled composition, raffinate is an excellent feed for steam cracking and isomerization units. Producers of ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and other light derivatives utilize raffinate to enhance efficiency. - Light Fuel or Gasoline Blending
Due to its high vapor pressure and appropriate boiling range, it can be used in light gasoline formulations or blended with refined diesel. - Industrial Solvent
In the paint, thinner, adhesive, and lubricant industries, raffinate is used as a high-volatility solvent with linear dissolving behavior. - Export to Consumer Markets
Thanks to its competitive price, standard technical profile, and easy transportability, raffinate is a popular choice among petrochemical importers across Asia, Europe, and Africa.
📦 Packaging and Delivery
Raffinate is shipped in bulk using insulated tankers, ISO tanks, or specialized drums for volatile fuels. All logistics follow IMO / ADR / RID regulations and international safety standards.
