 Benzene
• An organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C 6H6
• Benzene is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor
• It is highly toxic and is a known carcinogen

 Aromax Technology
• Chevron Phillips Chemical's Aromax Technology is
expected to be utilized more in the future because
the process uses light naphtha (C6-C7 ) as
feedstock.
• Volume of the available light naphtha is expected
to continue to increase due to the growth of light
shale oil in U.S.

 • Styrene monomer is a basic building block of the
plastics industry
• Method of producing styrene involves the
alkylation of benzene with ethylene to produce
ethylbenzene, followed by dehydrogenation of
ethylbenzene to styrene
• It is a Colorless liquid with Chemical Formula

 Cyclohexane
• All cyclohexane is produced in benzene hydrogenation units
• 90% of the cyclohexane production is used to produce
intermediates for nylon 6 and nylon 6,6
• Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive
detergent-like odor

11
 Applications Of Cyclohexane
• Most cyclohexane goes into the production of intermediates for nylon, which
has a variety of common applications such as clothing, tents and carpets as
well as thermoplastics
• Cyclohexane is also used as a solvent in chemical and industrial processes

Markets & Applications
Chevron Phillips Specialty
Chemicals

• Chevron Phillips Chemicals offers a wide

range of odorants in series of Scentinel
• The most commonly used is Scentinel S-20
gas odorant containing:
Methyl Ethyl Sulfide (19-23) wt%
t-Butyl Mercaptan (76-80) wt%
 Natural Gas Odorizing System
Generally, odorant systems introduce odorant into the gas stream in two ways.

Odorizing
System

Chemical Chemical
absorption injection

Wick type By pass type

Absorption type systems
Absorption type systems rely on the diffusion of odorant into a flowing
natural gas stream by taking advantage of the chemical characteristics of
the odorant vaporizing into the natural gas.

Wick Type
• The wick type system can best be compared to a
kerosene lantern where the chemical climbs a wick
which is inserted in the pipeline and combines with the
gas stream as it flows past the wick.
• These systems are generally applied in very low flow
applications and typically have low odorant storage
volumes involved with the system.
Bypass type
• The bypass system involves a storage tank containing
odorant which is connected to the pipeline such that a
portion of the flow of the pipeline bypasses through the
odorant storage tank and contacts the surface area of the
natural gas within the tank.
Injection type system
• The injection type system does not rely on absorption of
natural gas as the primary force introducing the chemical
into the flowing stream.
• Rather, the injection system is a positive injection of the
odorant which is stored away from the pipeline into the
flowing stream. This system is typically used on a wide
range of flowrates and the system is sized dependent on
the injection size of the injection pump which is a
component of the system.
