The n-heptane vapor is fed to a multistage centrifugal compressor Leu Where its pressure reaches 294 psia followed by a tubular reactor (made of 100 vertical tubes, ID=0.3 m and L=2m, each containing a fixed bed of the catalyst of height 0.6 m) where a 20% conversion of n-heptane fo toluene is affected. The effluent vapors at 425 °C are fed to a cooler-condenser, where all “effluents are cooled down to 18 °C. Thereafter the mixture is fed to a phase separator, where all hydrogen gas is separated from the toluene n-heptane mixture, The latter is fed to the bottom of a packed extraction column, to the top of which triethylene glycol (TEG) is fed to extract the toluene produced. TEG is 100% selective, but the raffinate composition is 95% n-heptane and 5% toluene (weight basis). The raffinate stream is not recycled back to the vaporizer-superheater, but is directed ‘“< (o further treatment and purification. The extract is first preheated by heat exchange with hot TEG coming from the distillation tower used for separating TEG from toluene. This tower has a reflux ratio of 6 and product streams are assumed (o be at their boiling points. The products from the tower are pure toluene and pure TEG.
