Light Hydrocarbon Aromatization Technology

Light hydrocarbon aromatization technology uses light hydrocarbon resources, such as liquefied gas, residual oil, cracked light naphtha, DCC light naphtha, reformed pentane and straight-run light naphtha, as well as coal-based naphtha, as raw materials. Through cracking, aromatisation and other reaction processes, it produces high-octane gasoline blending components or high-purity BTX. The low-carbon alkanes produced as by-products can be used as high-quality ethylene cracking materials. This technology can optimise the allocation of refinery resources and product structure, helping enterprises to improve quality and efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

High universality of raw materials

It can process liquefied gas, residual oil, cracked light naphtha, DCC light naphtha, reformed pentane, straight-run light naphtha, coal-based naphtha, etc.

Low operating costs

Adopting fixed-bed technology and a heat-integrated design makes the process simple, reduces equipment investment and lowers production energy consumption.

High product selectivity

Uses a metal-loaded nanosingle crystal ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst, ensuring the target product has high selectivity.

Flexible product solutions

Including gasoline and aromatic types that can be flexibly integrated into the overall process of different types of refineries.

Process Flow of Light Hydrocarbon Aromatization Technology

Technical Parameters

With the increasing trend of crude oil becoming heavier and of lower quality, there is an urgent demand for the chemical utilization of heavy aromatic resources. Meanwhile, under the new circumstances of refinery transformation, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, green and low-carbon development, and diversification of feedstock sources have become inevitable trends.

Additionally, the future aromatics market, particularly for para-xylene (PX), faces the risk of oversupply, prompting a shift of the aromatics industry toward high-end fine chemicals. The platform technology for aromatics enhancement and high-value utilization aligns with industry development trends, offering new ideas for enterprises to achieve green and efficient growth, with broad application prospects.
