GT-DMT^SM

GTC's GT-DMT^SM is a series of process enhancements for dimethyl terephthalate production.  The technology addresses oxidation, distillation, esterification, crystallization, and waste-water treatment resulting in lower energy consumption, increased capacity, and yield improvements.  Multiple projects aimed at the improvement of DMT production from paraxylene and methanol feedstocks have resulted in efficient processing schemes for this production route.

Our GT-DMT^SM technology is flexible and may be implemented in increments.  Full utilization can produce a significant capacity increase in revamp situations with maximum use of existing equipment.  For grassroots projects, capital investment is significantly reduced while obtaining improved yields and maximum capacity.

Advantages

• Improved process yields
• Higher specific throughput
• Lower energy consumption/ton DMT produced
• Flexible application for grassroots projects or revamps
• Accumulated technical expertise available through engineering packages and follow-up services
