Aromatic Extraction Technology for Production of Benzene & Toluene Using Sulfolane as Solvent

Implementing Organization

About

This technology is used in petroleum industry for production of benzene, toluene, xylene from aromatic rich feedstocks such as catalytic reformate and hydrogenated pyrolysis gasoline.

Outcome / Output

Use of Sulpholane, as extraction solvent, possesses a favourable combination of solvent power and selectivity resulting in the production of aromatic hydrocarbons in high purity (99.9% +) and yields( Aliphatic impurities 300 ppm) , Flexible in handling wide boiling range feedstock. Heart cut feed preparation is not required, Low utilities requirement as compared to extractive distillation procesl, Low solvent loss , Plant adaptations for future needs.
