This report presents a thorough cost evaluation of the production of Xylene via catalytic reformation. The process involves contacting petroleum naphtha to hydrogenating and dehydrogenating catalysts, producing a reformate, a mixture of paraffines. After removing lighter hydrocarbons from the mixture, the reformate is separated into different streams of aromatic hydrocarbons, which go through multiple distillation steps. After separating benzene, the toluene-rich fraction is used to produce C8 aromatics. These C8 aromatic hydrocarbons are then introduced to a xylene production loop producing para-xylene via adsorption or crystallization. The recovered para-xylenes are then converted to xylenes via an isomerization catalyst.
