The diesel product hydrotreated in the hydrotreating units of middle distillates, the flash point is

improved by stripping or separating light fractions in a stripping tower at the end of the process; These
light fractions are condensed and separated from the streams of diesel finished product, like wild
naphtha. In this investigation, feasible alternatives will be examined to treat wild naphtha obtained as a
by-product in the process of diesel hydrotreatment, with the purpose of orienting towards obtaining
products of greater value in the refineries. A characterization of this wild gasoline indicates that this
gasoline contains compounds such as paraffins, isoparaffins and cycloparaffins that can serve not only
the total inventory of gasoline from refineries but also that they can be separated using existing
technologies to then send them to other processes and thus transform them and give them added
value, such as isomerizing paraffins using existing catalysts and thus allocating the isomers formed to
serve as necessary components in improving the octane number (RON) of motor gasoline, as well as
separating cycloparaffins that, like cyclohexane, can be used mainly for the petrochemical industry,
where cyclohexane is used as raw material for the manufacture of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.
