ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing LLC and S-Oil Corporation
today announced the successful start-up of ExxonMobil's PxMax
technology at S-Oil's Onsan refinery and chemical complex in South
Korea. The PxMax process licensed by ExxonMobil and implemented at
the Onsan refinery replaced a non-selective toluene
disproportionation (TDP) process that produced equilibrium mixed
xylenes. The selective nature of the PxMax process provides S-Oil
with a paraxylene-enriched mixture that is further processed into
sales grade paraxylene product at S-Oil's facility. David Starkey,
Global Xylenes Licensing Manager, ExxonMobil Chemical Technology
Licensing LLC, said, "S-Oil is an important refiner and
petrochemical producer in South Korea. We are very pleased that
they have selected our PxMax technology to increase their overall
paraxylene production and improve the cost-competitiveness of their
Onsan refinery." "We selected the ExxonMobil PxMax technology as
one of a number of profit improvement activities focused on
increasing paraxylene production capacity without modifying the
paraxylene separation process facilities. The xylene product from
the PxMax process is highly enriched in paraxylene which allows us
to increase overall paraxylene production from the complex by
almost 8 percent. The relatively simple retrofit of our existing
TDP unit with PxMax offered us a way to quickly increase our
paraxylene production and take advantage of the very favorable
market conditions," said M. S. Seo, Refining Process Engineering
Department General Manager, S-Oil. ExxonMobil Chemical Technology
