Business Wire
ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing LLC and Thai Paraxylene
Company Limited (Thai PX) today announced the successful start-up
of the first licensed application in Thailand of ExxonMobil's new
Olgone technology. The Olgone process implemented at Thai PX's
Sriracha petrochemical complex removes olefinic contaminants from a
heavy reformate feed, replacing a traditional clay treatment
process. The mixed xylenes separated from the treated heavy
reformate are converted to paraxylene as the final product.
Duangporn Teerapabpaisit, Thai PX's Manufacturing Manager, said,
"We selected the ExxonMobil Olgone technology because it lengthens
the reformate treater cycles and reduces overall costs. The clay
treaters we replaced had cycles that would have been too short to
manage after we complete the expansion of our paraxylene facilities
later in 2007. Olgone offered a way to avoid installing new clay
treater vessels and reduce the amount of clay waste generated.�
David Starkey, Global Xylenes Licensing Manager, ExxonMobil
Chemical Technology Licensing LLC, said, "Thai PX is one of the
major paraxylene producers in Thailand. We are very pleased that it
has selected the Olgone technology to overcome a significant
bottleneck in the mixed xylenes production facilities at its
Sriracha refining and petrochemical complex." ExxonMobil Chemical
