Aromatics Extraction

High purity BTX components (benzene, toluene and xylenes) are important building blocks in many synthesis processes in the petrochemical industry. Considerable quantities of benzene and xylene compounds are used in the production of major petrochemical intermediates. Despite being rich in aromatics, significant amounts of non-aromatics species are still present in all reformate, pygas, FCC gasoline and COLO which prevent BTX from reaching the required specification.

The concentration of aromatics is performed by using solvent extraction in liquid-liquid or distillation systems.

Morphylane® - ParamaX® Suite

In extractive distillation, the addition of a selective solvent modifies the vapor pressures of the hydrocarbons in the feed in such a way that paraffinic and naphthenic components can be separated from the aromatics by distillation.

Morphylane® technology is the most cost effective solution for production of high purity benzene and toluene from C7- aromatics fractions thanks to the recognized superior characteristics of its patented solvent (N-Formylmorpholine).

Achieves 99.95%+ benzene purity
World's leading technologies for the production of high-purity aromatics
No solvent decomposition, corrosion or toxicity issues
