NOVEL PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BENZENE FROM REFORMATE WITHOUT A TOLUENE COLUMN

摘要

NOVEL PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BENZENE FROM REFORMATE WITHOUT A TOLUENE COLUMN The present invention describes a process flow diagram termed an aromatics complex which does not include a toluene separation column, for the production of benzene from a reformate. The process flow diagram in accordance with the invention can produce an overall energy saving of approximately 20% compared with a prior art process flow diagram. [Figure 2]
