Process Description

benzene supply.
ar stu
DeETOL process converts alkyl aromatics in the C7 to C10 range. Also converts C9-C10
aromatic concentrates to C8 aromatics. Mainly requires hydrodealkylation.
sh is
The feedstock at elevated pressure with recycle aromatic precursors, make-up and recycle
hydrogen is heated by exchanger and a fired furnace to 1000° to 1200 F° reaction temperature. In the
Th
reactor precursors are dealkylated and, in some cases, dehydrogenated. Materials not producing
aromatics are converted to light hydrocarbons. Reactor effluent is cooled, flashed, and the hydrogen-
rich vapor recycled with excess sent to fuel. Liquid is stabilized to remove dissolved hydrocarbons
boiling below benzene. Products of desired purity are fractionated from stabilizer bottoms and
unconverted precursors are recycled.
