The DISTAPEX process uses extractive distillation to recover individual aromatics from a heart-cut feedstock containing the desired aromatic compound. The feedstock enters the extractive distillation…
The UOP Sulfolane process recovers high-purity C6 – C9 aromatics from hydrocarbon mixtures, such as reformed petroleum naphtha (reformate), pyrolysis gasoline (pygas), or coke oven…
A process for the production of high-quality aniline from mononitrobenzene. Aniline is produced by the nitration of benzene with nitric acid to mononitrobenzene (MNB) which…
Production of ammonia from natural gas, LNG, LPG or naphtha. The process uses conventional steam reforming synthesis gas generation in the front-end, while the synthesis…
To produce ammonia from hydrocarbon feedstocks using a high-pressure (HP) heat exchange-based steam reforming process integrated with cryogenic purification of syngas. The key steps in…
To produce ammonia from hydrocarbon feedstocks and air. The key features of the KBR Purifier process are mild primary reforming, secondary reforming with excess air,…
To produce ammonia from hydrocarbon feedstocks using a high-pressure heat exchange-based steam reforming process integrated with a low-pressure advanced ammonia synthesis process. The key steps…
To produce ammonia from natural gas, LNG, LPG or naphtha. Other hydrocarbons—coal, oil, residues or methanol purge gas are possible feedstocks with an adapted front-end.…
The Linde ammonia concept (LAC) produces ammonia from light hydrocarbons. The process is a simplified route to ammonia, consisting of a modern hydrogen plant, standard…
