The TransPlus℠ 5 process is a low-cost, high-conversion technology to upgrade C₉+ aromatics and toluene to higher-value mixed xylenes and high purity benzene products. Benzene can also be co-processed for additional mixed xylenes production. The TransPlus 5 process, which is based on a proprietary high-activity, co-extruded dual zeolite catalyst with low precious metal content, offers superior yields, longer cycles, lower operating costs and increased profitability. The TransPlus 5 process can also be licensed by Axens as part of the ParamaX® technology suite for grassroots aromatics complexes.
Key Benefits:
Broad Feedstock Flexibility
Up to 100% C9+ aromatics in fresh feed
No indane spec in the C9+ aromatics fraction
Unlimited C10 aromatics in the C9+ aromatics fraction
Improved Process Performance
Smaller unit – grassroots
Higher capacity – revamps
Longer catalyst cycles
Lower Process Costs
Lower H2:HC ratio
Grassroots - Smaller unit
Revamps - Higher capacity
All units - Longer catalyst cycles
