Process Technologies

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
