Gas-treating technology can production, resid conversion and lubes customers well after implementation. low-value chemicals into high-value enable customers to meet stringent production. Our technologies can offer Whether it’s for producing paraxylene, products in innovative and cost-effective emissions standards. Our technologies can higher product yields, convert low-value lubricants, fuels or other products, ways. They can be used to manufacture also assist in the production of high-quality products to higher-value end products and ExxonMobil would like to partner with chemicals and polymers used in creating synthetic fuels from methanol derived from enable the production of high-quality base you on your success. polyethylene, nylon, styrene and other natural gas. stocks for engine oil production. They can high-performance materials. also help to meet regulatory requirements Welcome to a world of opportunity! for sulfur and benzene removal. We’re committed to delivering industry-leading, innovative process technologies, specialty catalysts and expertise that exceeds customer expectations and provides differentiated value. Our main goal is to help customers increase production capacity, decrease operating costs and lower emissions, so they can achieve greater operational success. Most importantly, we collaborate with our customers as long-term partners — taking on challenges, finding solutions together and providing guidance on best practices that help achieve customer goals. Shaping the future As a technology innovator and Solving shared challenges through Toluene alkylation with methanol a proprietary high-activity, co-extruded manufacturer with close our experience (EMTAM℠ process technology) dual zeolite catalyst with low precious ExxonMobil is committed to its customers’ ExxonMobil’s EMTAM process uses metal content — offers superior yields, relationships to its customers, operational success, focusing on increasing inexpensive methanol to upgrade toluene to longer cycles, lower operating costs and ExxonMobil has developed the value generated by our customers’ paraxylene. It’s a breakthrough technology increased profitability. fundamental insights that optimize processes and plants. Used in over 150 that maximizes production of valuable and improve customers’ operations commercial facilities around the world, paraxylene product while lowering feed and Selective toluene disproportionation (PxMax℠ process technology) through technology development. ExxonMobil catalysts and technologies offer energy costs. The highly paraxylene- a number of potential advantages, over a selective process is built from commercially ExxonMobil’s PxMax process technology is range of technology categories. proven technologies. Unlike other toluene the industry benchmark for selective toluene conversion processes, there is no benzene disproportionation. Based on an ex-situ co-product and no hydrogen co-feed. It is selectivated catalyst, the PxMax process the only process that can tune the methyl- offers unmatched paraxylene selectivity and to-ring ratio based on market conditions product yields (superior xylenes-to-benzene and allows unlimited benzene co-feeding to ratio), which improve over an exceptionally produce paraxylene. long and stable catalyst cycle. Heavy aromatics transalkylation Xylene isomerization (TransPlus℠ 5 process technology) (XyMax℠ -2 process technology, ExxonMobil’s TransPlus 5 process is the low- LPI process technology) ExxonMobil catalysts are used in over 150 cost, high-conversion solution to upgrade ExxonMobil’s XyMax-2, and LPI processes commercial facilities worldwide. C9+ heavy aromatics and toluene into isomerize para-depleted xylenes effluents higher-value mixed xylenes and high-purity from the paraxylene recovery section into benzene products. The TransPlus 5 process equilibrium mixed xylenes, thereby — which is based on upgrading lower-value isomers to manufactured today. The process is built Synthetic fuels upon ExxonMobil’s proprietary zeolite (Methanol to gasoline technology) catalyst that drives a very high selectivity ExxonMobil’s methanol-to-gasoline to ethylbenzene and enables a low-capital, technology converts methanol to gasoline highly energy-efficient design that is that minimizes offsite and logistic applicable to grassroot, expansion and complexity. MTG creates a single, fungible retrofit opportunities. The EBMax process liquid product with virtually no sulfur and produces ethylbenzene with exceptional low benzene, which can be sold as-is or product purity for the manufacture of styrene. blended with ethanol, methanol, conventional gasoline or gasoline Cumene alkylation components.
