The Uhde STeam Active Reforming STAR process produces (a) propylene as feedstock for polypropylene, propylene oxide, cumene, acrylonitrile or other propylene derivatives, and (b) butylenes…
Separation of pure C4 olefins from olefinic/paraffinic C4 mixtures via extractive distillation using a selective solvent. BUTENEX is the Uhde technology to separate light olefins…
The Dimersol-X process transforms butenes into octenes, which are ultimately used in the manufacture of plasticizers via isononanol (isononyl alcohol) and diisononyl phthalate units. Butenes…
Efficient low-cost recovery and purification processes for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB)-grade and/or high-purity normal-paraffin (n-paraffin) products from kerosine. The ExxonMobil Chemical (EMC) process…
The Molex process recovers normal C10 – C13 paraffins from kerosine using UOP’s innovative Sorbex adsorptive separation technology. Straight-run kerosine is fed to a stripper…
To produce natural detergent alcohols from fatty acids using esterification, hydrogenolysis and refining. Fatty acids are fed to the esterification section (1) where they are…
The MX Sorbex process recovers meta-xylene (m-xylene) from mixed xylenes. UOP’s innovative Sorbex technology uses adsorptive separation for highly efficient and selective recovery, at high…
Ethers, particularly methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME), have long been used in reformulated gasoline, owing to their attractive blending…
GT-STDP produces paraxylene-rich mixed xylene along with high-purity benzene streams from toluene. GT-STDP features a commercially-proven proprietary catalyst with high activity and selectivity to paraxylene…
