Eluxyl & SPX 5003 Merits Summary
Unique Eluxyl control system functionalities directly value SPX 5003

superior performances: Energy Efficient Eluxyl Operation Mode with
lowered Desorbent to Feed ratio significantly reduces Energy costs.
Targeted 99.8%min PX purity objective achieved together with
ultimate 98%min PX recovery.
Industrially proven PX production capacity increase up to
downstream fractionation hydraulic design limits (+15-20%)
Operating ratios drop lighten Adsorbers hydraulic load and offers
even greater reliability.
Eluxyl & SPX 5003 ensures the lowest Paraxylene

production costs
