  • Process for the production of high purity para-xylene and high purity toluene
    Patent number: 10815171
    Abstract: A process for the production of high purity toluene and para-xylene is described. More specifically, the process involves the production of high purity toluene produced via a light-desorbent selective adsorption process for para-xylene production, such as light desorbent para-xylene extraction, without the need for dedicated solvent extraction or olefin removal from the toluene stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Jason T. Corradi, Ryan D. Miller
  • Process for recovering benzene and fuel gas in an aromatics complex
    Patent number: 10793493
    Abstract: A process for separating xylenes from a feedstock in which the feedstock is separated into a xylene stream, a benzene rich stream and a light ends stream. Two separation zones may be utilized in which liquid from the first zone sent to a toluene recovery zone and vapor from the first zone is sent to a compression zone. The compressed vapor from the compression zone is sent to the second separation zone.
