Question:Chemical Engineering,Plant Design

Hello,

I'm looking for a process flow diagram for the production of para-xylene.

I want a flow sheet of the process with the weight composition of the streams and the overall conversion percentage.

I didn't find a process flow diagram that has the information I need to start my plant design project

Could you please help me  

Answer 1

Hello dear sir,

there are many processes by which we can produce the para-xylene.

in this question, you have to mention either the process name or the feed type and name so we may provide you with some information.

I may suggest some name process of para-xylene formation as follows:-

1.Catalytic reforming of naphtha

2.formation of para-xylene from methanol

3.formation of para-xylene from toluene methylation

4.synthesis of para-xylene from ethylene.

if you have any other process which I did not mention here then please name the process I will provide you some hint or complete solution.

I have the block diagrams of all and also pfd but can't provide that much data so you must have to be specific about your choice.

thank you, sir
