Advanced Trans-Alkylation (ATA) as a means of capturing value: productivity improvement in xylene production
ATA(Advanced Trans-Alkylation) is best-in-class transalkylation catalyst/process technology to convert low value-added volatile elements such as toluene, C9+ aromatics to basic emulsion raw material of xylene, which can be widely used for synthetic fabrics and solvent. ATA technology has wide range of feedstock flexibility for toluene and C9+ aromatics and more than 5+ years of long catalyst life. It can also enhance productivity with higher yield and lower operating cost due to strong catalyst activity, lower temperature reaction and flow-sheet optimization. These advantages have placed ATA into market leader position. One of user has reported to gain more than $17MM of annual revenue increase together with substantial energy saving after applying ATA Technology.
