BTX Direct℠ Naphtha Dearomatization Process

GTC Vorro Technology’s BTX Direct^SM process is a simplified version of liquid-liquid extraction, which separates aromatics from straight run naphtha to bypass the steam cracker operation. The extracted aromatics plus contaminants are routed to the pygas hydrotreating and purification for profitable recovery of benzene, toluene, xylenes, and heavy aromatics. The non-aromatic fraction is routed through the normal steps of cracking and recovery of olefins. For gasoil feedstock, the alternate version Aromatics Direct^SM process is used.

Novel sulfur removal pathways to aid energy reduction and decarbonisation

Decarbonisation and energy efficiency are key economic drivers for refining and petrochemical operators globally, along with emphasis on minimizing sulphur emissions. Sulphur removal has been practiced in the industry for decades. However, with the development of new media, adsorbents, and catalysts, ...
BTX Gold™ Solvents

In the petrochemical industry, fractional distillation is the mainstay for separating components on the basis of different boiling points. When the individual component boiling points are close or when there is need for ultra-high purity products, then other techniques are used to facilitate the separation. Solvent-enhanced ...
