When the final investment decision is taken, this complex will aim at satisfying domestic market needs in PTA.

Axens offered its second-generation ParamaX Suite of technologies for cost-effective production of benzene, paraxylene and orthoxylene, in combination with its Pygas hydrogenation technology for steam cracking gasoline treatment.

ParamaX Suite consists in the following technologies:

  • Eluxyl®, 1.15 paraxylene purification technology, originally developed by Axens.
  • Morphylane, aromatics Extractive process, originally developed by ThyssenKrupp Uhde Engineering Services.
  • XyMax-2, C8 aromatics isomerisation technology, originally developed by ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing.
  • TransPlus-5, aromatics transalkylation technology, originally developed by ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing.

Axens’ ParamaX Suite delivers high products yields, while greatly reducing plant energy consumption and enabling to control investment for cost-advantaged aromatics production.

In addition, the company will provide catalysts, adsorbents, equipment and full services offer from plant personnel training to plant successful start-up, followed by plant performances monitoring services.

The future aromatics complex is expected to produce 1.16 million tpy of paraxylene, orthoxylene and benzene.
