Petrochemicals

SMB technology was originally used in oil industry for processes such as separation of n-paraffins from iso-paraffins and cycloparaffins and separation of para-xylene from C8 isomers. It continues to be used as the mode of separation for industrially important small molecules from the oil industry. Orochem Technologies Inc. has applied its expert use of SMB chromatography to aid customers in separations of alpha-olefins and other petrochemical small molecules to yield high recovery and high purity products. Orochem can offer solution for purification of 1-decene, styrene, and ethyl benzene.
