Abstract:
Process and apparatuses for producing benzene and para-xylene from a reformate stream is provided. The process comprises separating the reformate stream to provide a first stream comprising C 4  and lighter hydrocarbons and a second stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons. The second steam is provided to a reformate splitter to provide a reformate bottoms stream comprising C 8+  aromatic hydrocarbons and a reformate overhead stream comprising C 7−  aromatic hydrocarbons. The reformate overhead stream is passed to an aromatics extraction unit to provide an aromatics extract stream comprising benzene and toluene and a raffinate stream comprising non-aromatic hydrocarbons. The reformate bottoms stream and one of the first stream and the raffinate stream is passed to an olefin reduction zone, wherein the reformate bottoms stream and one of the first stream and the raffinate stream are contacted with an olefin saturation catalyst under olefin saturation conditions to produce an olefin-treated reformate stream.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus for producing benzene and para-xylene from a catalytic reformate stream, wherein the apparatus comprises:\n a) a debutanizer to separate the reformate stream to provide a first stream comprising C 4  and lighter hydrocarbons in a light ends line and a second stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons, b) a reformate splitter in communication with the debutanizer to provide a reformate bottoms stream in a reformate bottoms line and a reformate overhead stream in a reformate overhead line, from the reformate stream; c) an aromatics extraction in communication with the reformate splitter through the reformate overhead line to provide an aromatics extract stream comprising benzene and toluene and a raffinate stream comprising non-aromatic hydrocarbons in a raffinate line; and d) an olefin reduction zone in communication with the reformate bottoms line and in communication with one of the light ends line and the raffinate line to produce an olefin-treated reformate stream in an olefin reduction zone line.
