Features Of Clariant Tonsil APT-pX Catalyst

  1. Highly selective acid catalyst for para-xylene (p-Xylene) isomerization and transalkylation reactions.

  2. Thermally stable, low-dust granular form ensuring consistent handling and reactor bed integrity.

  3. Optimized surface acidity and pore structure for enhanced catalyst lifetime and reduced coking.

  4. Low sodium content (< 0.05 wt%) to minimize undesired side reactions and maintain high aromatic yield.

  5. Designed for fixed-bed continuous operation in industrial-scale aromatic production units.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Tonsil APT-pX Catalyst

  1. Isomerization of mixed xylenes to maximize para-xylene yield in petrochemical aromatics complexes.

  2. Transalkylation of toluene and C9+ aromatics with benzene or xylene streams to boost p-xylene production.

  3. Integration into integrated aromatics extraction and conversion units (e.g., Parex + Isomar®-type processes).

  4. Upgrading of reformate-derived aromatic cuts in refineries seeking higher-value p-xylene output.

  5. Use in licensed technology units requiring high-selectivity, sulfur-tolerant solid acid catalysts.
