Xylenes Production Licensing
ExxonMobil Product Solutions has led the development and application of leading-edge technologies for xylenes and benzene production since the discovery of ZSM-5 in the late 1960s. Technologies for paraxylene and benzene production include: selective and non-selective toluene disproportionation, xylene isomerization, heavy aromatics transalkylation, selective toluene alkylation with methanol, and aromatics treatment.
For customers interested in constructing a complete grassroots complex, ExxonMobil’s alliance with Axens S.A. offers all of the technologies required to meet your needs.
Our process
Our applications
-
Toluene selective alkylation with methanol (EMTAM℠)
The EMTAM℠ process is a breakthrough technology that maximizes production of valuable paraxylene while lowering feed and energy costs.
Learn more -
Vapor phase xylene isomerization (XyMax℠-2)
XyMax-2 isomerization produces paraxylene and/or orthoxylene from feedstocks rich in C8 aromatics.
Learn more
-
Heavy aromatics transalkylation (TransPlus℠ 5)
A low-cost, high conversion solution to upgrade C9+ heavy aromatics and tolulene/benzene to higher-value mixed xylenes and high-purity benzene.
Learn more -
Liquid phase xylene isomerization (LPI)
LPI process technology is the latest generation of liquid phase isomerization technology offering significant energy savings and ultra-low xylene losses.
Learn more
-
Selective toluene disproportionation (PxMax℠)
PxMax offers improved yields, excellent stability, ease of operation and extremely long catalyst cycles.
Learn more -
Aromatics treatment (Olgone℠)
Olgone process technology is designed to significantly extend the cycle length of existing clay treaters, reducing the amount of spent clay generated when producing xylenes.
Learn more
-
Toluene disproportionation (MTDP-3)
MTDP-3 is designed to process toluene and limited amounts of C9 aromatics, and can allow for inexpensive debottlenecking of existing toluene disproportionation (TDP) facilities.
