Petrochemicals

Plants for producing

ethyl benzene/styrene

Special features
Production of ethyl benzene by means Less stringent requirements as to
of liquid phase alkylation of benzene at quality of input materials
the zeolith catalyst
High product purity
Production of styrene by means of
catalytic dehydrogenation of ethyl
benzene with water vapor and
under vacuum in 2 adiabatic radial
reactors with external intermediate
superheating
