high value refined/petrochemical products
• Enhanced cost competitiveness
• Maximized margin by flow exchanges
• Economy of scale
• Optimized CAPEX/OPEX
• Increased flexibilities towards
• Crude price volatility
• Refined/ petrochemical market evolution
• Financial resistance to cyclic market
• Environmental benefits

Advanced Pygas Upgrading (APU)
 New technology developed by SK, Korea
 Concept validated by industrial trial

• SK Refinery
 Commercial agreement signed in July 2005
 Axens selected as exclusive licensor for its

strong position in
• Pygas hydrogenation
• Aromatics production
APU Main Reactions
• Hydrocracking of paraffins
• Ring opening on naphthenes
• Hydrodealkylation of heavy
aromatics
APU Main Benefits
• Cracking of non aromatics

• high purity BTX left, recovered by distillation
• High quality C2-C4 for co-cracking produced
• Maximization of ethylene & propylene yields
• Hydrodealkylation of Heavy Aromatics

• Conversion of heavy pygas fractions, C9-C10
• Additional production of BTX
• Mixed xylenes quality improved
