Figure 2. CrystPX Process for Paraxylene Recovery
The next table shows a comparison of the production costs from aromatics complexes using
crystallization and adsorption for paraxylene recovery. The configurations include the xylene
column, paraxylene recovery, and xylene isomerization units.

The adsorption unit may have a slightly lower cash cost of production. However, this type
system would require an investment approximately $40MM higher than that with a
crystallization-based aromatics recovery unit. The expenditure of the additional up front
capital, eliminates the long-term cash cost benefit of adsorption, giving investors in a
crystallization-based complex the advantage.
