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…
In a modern UOP aromatics complex, the TAC9 process is integrated into the flow scheme to selectively convert C9– C10 aromatics into xylenes rather than…
The Tatoray process produces mixed xylenes and petrochemical grade benzene by disproportionation of toluene and transalklyation of toluene and C9+ aromatics. The Tatoray process consists…
To selectively convert toluene to mixed xylene and high-purity benzene using ExxonMobil Chemical’s Toluene DisProportionation 3rd Generation (MTDP-3) process. Dry toluene feed and up to…
To convert C9+ heavy aromatics, alone or in conjunction with toluene or benzene co-feed, primarily to mixed xylenes using ExxonMobil Chemical’s TransPlus process. Fresh feed,…
