This parameters depends on the catalyst used, however generally they turn around the following numbers:
| Content of o-xylene in feed to reactor |
80-90gr/Nm3
|
| High reactor yield (depends on catalyst) |
up to 115 kg/kg of o-xylene |
| De-sublimation efficiency on SW. C. |
up to 99,8wt% |
| Distillation residues |
2-3 wt% |
| |
|
| Overall plant Yield (kg/kg) |
109 - 106 |
| Expresed in 100% o-xylene and commercial PA |
(new catalyst) (old catalyst) |
| The catalyst life time |
4 to 5 years. |
