			<title>Paraxylene Production</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Crystallization technology has improved dramatically over the last three decades. Recent advances in equipment and process control have answered many of the criticisms that have limited its application. Previous designs relied on small units arranged in multiple processing trains and were therefore deemed maintenance intensive. The new equipment is larger, more reliable, and capable of extended run lengths without maintenance. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Paraxylene Crystallization&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The C&lt;sub&gt;8&lt;/sub&gt; aromatic isomers are difficult to separate by distillation due to their close boiling points. In particular, the boiling points of paraxylene and metaxylene differ by less than 1&amp;#176;C. However, because paraxylene has a markedly higher freezing point than the other isomers, crystallization can be used to facilitate its separation. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Separation of paraxylene by freezing can be accomplished either by suspension crystallization or layer crystallization. For feedstocks containing low concentrations of paraxylene (i.e. 20-24%), suspension crystallization using two or more stages of separation is the only feasible option. For enriched feedstocks, crystallization is a very attractive method of recovery. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;CrystPX&lt;sup&gt;SM&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Suspension crystallization of paraxylene in the xylene isomer mixture is used to produce paraxylene crystals. The design uses an optimized arrangement of equipment to obtain the required recovery and product purity. Washing the paraxylene crystal with the final product in a high efficiency pusher-centrifuge system produces the paraxylene product. Figure 1 shows a general flow scheme for the technology. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 599px; height: 421px&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.gtctech.com/attachments/files/158/CrystPX.jpg&quot; width=&quot;599&quot; height=&quot;421&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Figure 1.&amp;nbsp;CrystPX Process Flow Scheme &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;When paraxylene content in the feed is enriched above equilibrium in the case of streams originating from selective toluene conversion processes, GTC&amp;#8217;s crystallization process technology is one of the most economical means to produce high purity paraxylene product at high recoveries. The company takes advantage of recent advances in crystallization techniques and equipment to create this attractive method for paraxylene recovery and purification. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The process advantages of this new technology include:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;High paraxylene purity and recovery (99.8+ wt% purity at 95% recovery).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Crystallization equipment is simple, easy to procure, and operationally trouble free.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Simple design requires small plot size and low capital investment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The system is flexible, enabling it to meet market requirements for paraxylene purity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The system is easily designed to allow for future incremental capacity increases.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feed concentration of paraxylene is used efficiently.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flexible technology allows a range of feed concentrations (75-95 wt% paraxylene) to be processed in a single stage refrigeration system.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Design variations are used to recover paraxylene efficiently from dilute mixed xylene feedstocks (22% PX) in a multistage system. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The design uses only crystallizers and centrifuges in the primary operation. This simplicity of equipment promotes low maintenance costs, easy incremental expansions, and controlled flexibility. High purity paraxylene is produced in the front section of the process at warm temperatures, taking advantage of the high concentration of paraxylene already in the feed. At the back end of the process, high paraxylene recovery is obtained through a series of crystallizers operated successively at colder temperatures. This scheme minimizes the need for recycling excessive amounts of filtrate, thus reducing overall energy requirements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 381px; height: 539px&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.gtchouston.com/attachments/files/160/P0002040.JPG &quot; width=&quot;381&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Case Study &lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div&gt;LG-Caltex Oil Corporation will use&amp;nbsp;CrystPX crystallization process technology for its new 400,000 tpy paraxylene production unit in Yosu, Korea. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The LG-Caltex Yosu Complex currently operates a world scale paraxylene production facility with a nominal capacity of 700 tpy. This expansion catapults LG-Caltex into the position of number one merchant producer of paraxylene from a single site in the world. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The award marks GTC&amp;#8217;s full entry into the paraxylene technology licensing business. In today&amp;#8217;s market, with changing feedstocks and market constraints, crystallization technology gives a producer the most flexibility, reliability, and lowest investment cost. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;LG-Caltex believes that the&amp;nbsp;CrystPX process is the most simple and reliable technology for its application. It provides and efficient recovery of PX from the feed and the flexibility to adjust process conditions to suit market requirements. The design and equipment are simple and easily procured. A fast startup and trouble-free operation is expected in January 2003. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;LG-Caltex, a joint venture between Caltex and the LG Group in Korea, is one of the world&amp;#8217;s largest oil refiners and petrochemical producers with a refinery capacity of 650,000 bpd crude oil.&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Styrene Recovery Technology - GT-Styrene</title>
			<description> GT-Styrene is GTC's extractive distillation process that directly recovers styrene from the raw pyrolysis gasoline derived from the steam cracking of naphtha, gas oils, and natural gas liquids (NGL). The styrene, produced at high purities and suitable for polymerization, is a less costly alternative to conventional styrene production routes. If desired, the mixed xylenes can also be extracted from the pygas, raising their value as a chemical feedstock. Our GT-Styrene process is economically attractive to steam cracker operators which produce greater than 500 KMTA ethylene from liquids feedstock.    Process Description  Raw pyrolysis gasoline is prefractionated into a heartcut C8 stream. The resulting styrene concentrate is fed to an ED column and mixed with a selective solvent, which extracts the styrene to the tower bottoms. The rich solvent mixture is routed to a solvent recovery column (SRC), which recycles the lean solvent back to the ED column and recovers the styrene overhead....

			<title>Hydrogen Sulfide Removal Technology - CrystaSulf</title>
			<description> GTC Technology, in alliance with CrystaTech, is supporting projects utilizing CrystaSulf technology, a nonaqueous process that has been developed specifically for the treatment of high-pressure sour natural gas in medium-sized sulfur applications with produced sulfur in the range of 0.1 to 30 tons per day.   Process Description  CrystaSulf uses a nonaqueous solution with a high solubility for elemental sulfur. Because the elemental sulfur stays dissolved in the solution, there are no solids in the liquid circulated to the absorber. By design, CrystaSulf avoids the problems that make the aqueous sulfur recovery systems unsuitable for direct treatment of high-pressure gas.     With this process, H2S is removed from the sour gas in a conventional tray absorber. The H2S reacts with dissolved sulfur dioxide (SO2) to produce dissolved elemental sulfur. There are no solids in the absorber, flash tank, or solution lines, which minimizes the chance of plugging. Rich solution from the absorber...

			<title>Carboxylic Acid Recovery Technology - GT-CAR</title>
			<description> GT-CAR is GTC's carboxylic acid recovery technology that combines liquid-liquid extraction technology with distillation to recover and concentrate carboxylic acids from wastewater. The use of a high boiling solvent enables the process to attain the lowest energy use of any commercially available process, with minimal capital costs. The recovered acids may be sold as high purity products or recycled back to the process. The biological oxygen demand of the resulting wastewater stream is greatly reduced. GTC's GT-CAR process is economical for any aqueous stream generated in the production of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), pulp/paper, furfural, and other processes. Acids concentrations as low as 0.5-3.0% can be recovered economically. High purity formic acid or acetic acid are typical products.   Process Description  In GTC's carboxylic acid recovery process, an acid-containing aqueous stream is fed to an extraction column, which operates using a...
