Benzene Adsorption

Benzene is known one of the hazardous components that produced in many industries
especially oil refinery. The immediately dangerous to life or health when human expose
benzene in 500ppm. It will give the hazardous effects such as carcinogen, Damage the ozone
layer and produce photochemical smog, and pose mutagenic hazards.
Therefore, removal of benzene in gasoline production is one of the essential process to bring
a better future for human being and compliance with MSAT2 standards.
