Would it fall under one of the generic grades of "petroleum ether"?

sgoel,

Normal C10 (to C12) paraffins are used to make linear alkylbenzene, n-alcohol, and some other surfactant intermediates. I know some people that might be interested in talking to your commercial folks about pricing and volume if such a stream is available for sale.

best wishes,
