Naphtha is primarily found in coal tar, refined petroleum, and shale oil. It is a very versatile commodity and is extensively applied in the energy industry. Destructive distillation of oil from bituminous shale produces shale naphtha. Whereas, the distillation of coal tar produces coal tar naphtha, which is a very volatile commercial item. The two types of naphtha are paraffinic and heavy naphtha. Heavy naphtha is mainly used for manufacturing aromatics, and paraffinic naphtha is ideal for manufacturing olefins, and polyolefins.
