: Sadara Chemical Company
: The Aromatics facility comprises of two Process Technologies to extract the Aromatics from Pygas feed stock: The front end of the facility, which will use a Pygas Hydrogenation process (first and second stage Hydrogenation); and the back end of the facility, which will use an Extraction Distillation process. Shaw will provide technology for the Pygas Hydrogenation process (with BASF reactor design and catalyst) while GTC will provide technology for the Extractive Distillation process. The plant will have a design capacity of 275,000 tons per year of Benzene and 131,000 tons per year of Toluene. Additional Benzene and Toluene will be needed for the planned capacities of the downstream plants such as Mono Nitro Benzene (MNB) and Di Nitro Toluene (DNT) plants and these will be sourced from third parties.
