Single‑unit adsorbent solution commissioned to simplify pre‑treatment, prevent freeze‑out and increase feed‑gas flexibility; full rollout planned by end‑2027.
Aromatics gains (27% energy, 50% low‑temp heat) reflect decades of incremental catalyst/adsorbent R&D, not a sudden breakthrough—could displace incumbent licensors across Asia/Middle East.
New aromatics tech validated: p-xylene adsorbent, ethylbenzene‑conversion isomerization catalyst, SMB single‑tower separation, intelligent control; 25 patents; +50% low‑temp heat reuse, −27% energy/unit
First industrial third‑gen aromatics plant (890 kt/yr) uses single‑column adsorption; +10% adsorbent use, ~20% lower capex, <220 kg oil/ton PX. Completed 2022; supports >100bn yuan cluster.
