ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Crystallization; (2) Isomerization/Dealkylation; and (3) Fractionation. </p><p>Crystallization. A mixed xylenes stream goes through a two-step crystallization process. In the first step, the mixture has its temperature lowered in a crystallizer to the point where crystals of Paraxylene are formed. The crystals are then separated from the mother liquid by a centrifuge. In the second step, they are fed to a tank, where the temperature gradually rises and the remaining isomers that were trapped in the crystals are melted away. After a second centrifugation, the crystals are washed and melted yielding high purity Paraxylene.</p><p>Isomerization/Dealkylation. The Paraxylene-lean filtrate separated during Crystallization is fed, along with hydrogen, to a reactor where ortho- and metaxylene are isomerized and ethylbenzene is dealkylated to benzene and ethane. The product from the reaction comprises a near-equilibrium mixture of all xylene isomers, unreacted ethylbenzene and hydrogen, benzene, and minor amounts of by-products generated. This stream is cooled and sent to a gas-liquid separation step to recover the unreacted hydrogen. </p><p>Fractionation. The liquid product from reaction is sent to a stabilizer column, to be first separated in three streams: light hydrocarbons, a benzene/toluene mixture, and mixed xylenes. The lights are burned for fuel. The benzene-toluene mixture is sent to a benzene column for separation of benzene co-product from toluene (also sold as co-product to gasoline blending facilities). The xylenes obtained from the bottom of the stabilizer column are fed to the xylene column, which also receives the process feed of mixed xylenes. In this last column, heavy aromatics are removed from the bottom as by-products while the mixed xylenes stream proceeds to crystallization.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report analyses the economics of a process for p-Xylene production from mixed xylenes in the United States.
