Pygas is easily valorised in a refinery to produce an aromatic rich cut or a gasoline after different hydrogenation steps. To produce an aromatic rich cut, a first step of hydrogenation will remove the diolefins and styrene. A second step of hydrogenation will remove the sulphur and olefins. To produce a gasoline, the first step of hydrogenation remains. It is then processed in a Prime-G+ unit to produce ultra-low sulphur gasoline.
