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

 Production of Benzene & Toluene using Aromatic Extraction technology.

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.

• 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 process.
• Low solvent loss
• Plant adaptations for future needs.
