A process for the production of high purity toluene and para-xylene is described. More specifically, the process involves the production of high purity toluene produced via a light-desorbent selective adsorption process for para-xylene production, such as light desorbent para-xylene extraction, without the need for dedicated solvent extraction or olefin removal from the toluene stream.

Process for the production of high purity para-xylene and high purity toluene

A process for separating xylenes from a feedstock in which the feedstock is separated into a xylene stream, a benzene rich stream and a light ends stream. Two separation zones may be utilized in which liquid from the first zone sent to a toluene recovery zone and vapor from the first zone is sent to a compression zone. The compressed vapor from the compression zone is sent to the second separation zone.

Process for recovering benzene and fuel gas in an aromatics complex

The present invention relates to a process for controlling the antifoam injection based on the pressure differential of the column. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process for controlling the antifoam injection based on the pressure differential of an aromatics extraction unit using an intelligent differential pressure transmitter. The controller communicates with the antifoam injection system so that the antifoam is injected to the unit only when it is required.
