Paraffin base crude oil as compared to asphalt base crude gives___________________?
Correct answer: A. Higher yield of straight run gasoline
- A. Higher yield of straight run gasoline
- B. Higher octane number gasoline
- C. Lower viscosity index lube oil
- D. Poorer yield of lube oil
Explanation
Paraffin-base crude generally contains a larger gasoline-forming fraction and therefore gives a higher yield of straight-run gasoline. Asphalt-base crude is richer in heavy residual material and asphaltic constituents.
