GT-IsomPXSM

GT-IsomPXSM is GTC's xylene isomerization technology. It is available in two versions: EB isomerization type and EB dealkylation type. Both versions gain high ethylbenzene conversion rates, while producing equilibrium mixed xylenes. Catalysts which exhibit superior physical activity and stability are the key to this technology. The technology and catalysts are used commercially in several applications.

Advantages:
  • PX in xylenes reaches thermodynamic equilibrium after reaction
  • EB dealkylation to benzene or isomerization to xylenes.  With the EB-dealkylation catalyst, the by-product benzene is produced at high purity by simple distillation.
  • Low H2/HC, high WHSV, low xylenes loss
  • Long cycle length
