technology for manufacturing benzene, toluene, and xylene using light naphtha and liquefied petroleum gas. The Tokyo-based company is likely to refocus its research programme to develop a low-cost BTX production process towards other forms of reactions, catalysts and feedstocks. The decision came after the company discovered that the acidity-adjusted zeolite catalyst that it uses in its proprietary Z-forming process falls short of the minimum output needed to consider a BTX production economically practical.
