C3-C5 Mono-olefins |
For production of C3-C5 mono-olefins. |

Methyl methacrylate |
A process for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate (MMA) from isobutylene or tertiary butanol, air, and methanol. |
| 7 |
Detergent Alkylate |
A process for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) from normal paraffins and benzene by chlorination and alkylation. |
| 6 |
Ammonium nitrate |
Production of concentrated 99.8-wt % ammonium nitrate solutions. The Carnit Process, which requires no external heat supply, combines a high energy efficiency with ease of operation and low capital cost. The process can be optimized either to produce clean 5 bar steam for export, or to use a dilute nitric acid feed. |
| 5 |
sec-Alkane sulfonate |
Process for the production of a highly biodegradable detergent, secondary sodium alkane sulfonate, from normal paraffins (C14-C17), sulfur dioxide and oxygen. |
| 4 |
Protein process |
A continuous process for the manufacture of a protein feeding stuff based on the fermentation of methanol by a selected microorganism. |
| 3 |
p-Xylene |
A process for the recovery of the highest purity paraxylene commercially available by crystallization from mixed xylenes. |
| 2 |
p-Xylene separation |
A process for separating p-xylene from mixtures with other xylene isomers, ethylbenzene and non-aromatic hydrocarbons. The p-xylene is recovers at a purity in excess of 99.5%. The process typically recovers 95% of the p-xylene charged in a single pass, but recoveries in excess of 96% are possible.<br>
The process can be operated to extract p-xylene in a once through operation from either a C8-aromatic mixture derived from extraction or from a C8-cut of reformate or pyrolysis gasoline from steam cracking. Alternatively, it can be operated in conjunction with xylene isomerization, such as UOP's Isomar process, to yield any required proportion of the C8-aromatic products as p-xylene. |

Xylenes and benzene |
A process to convert toluene or toluene and C9 aromatics to xylenes and benzene by disproportionation and transalkylation. |
