Upgrade to high-value products and increased profitability. The TransPlus℠ 5 process is the low-cost, high-conversion solution to upgrade C₉+ heavy aromatics and toluene to higher-value mixed xylenes and high purity benzene products. Benzene can also be co-processed for additional mixed xylenes production. The TransPlus 5 process, which is based on a proprietary high-activity, co-extruded dual zeolite catalyst with low precious metal content, offers superior yields, longer cycles, lower operating costs and increased profitability. The TransPlus 5 process is also licensed by Axens as part of the ParamaX® technology suite for grassroots aromatics complexes.
