Naphtha Loading

Leaders in Petroleum, Upstream/Downstream and Natural Gas Safety Solutions

Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Mixtures labeled naphtha have been produced from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and the distillation of coal tar and peat. In different industries and regions naphtha may also be crude oil or refined products such as kerosene. Naphtha is a flammable liquid made from distilling petroleum. It looks like gasoline. Naphtha is used to dilute heavy oil to help move it through pipelines, to make high-octane gas, to make lighter fluid, and even to clean metal.
Naptha was the forerunner of gasoline
