Cyclohexane Production

Cyclohexane has a fundamental role in the petrochemical chain: produced by benzene hydrogenation, cyclohexane is an intermediate product for Nylon production.

Cyclohexane Process

The Axens Cyclohexane process is the industry’s benchmark for the production of high purity Cyclohexane by benzene hydrogenation.

The process is combining two steps:

A liquid phase hydrogenation, for an optimal control of exothermicity and selectivity at the lowest investment;
A fixed catalyst bed reactor to meet the most severe Cyclohexane product specifications.

High benzene conversion and cyclohexane quality

Low investment and flexible unit
