Aromatics - Union Carbide operated an Aromatics Unit at the St. Charles Operations Location from 1967 to 1985. When it was shutdown for business reasons I was the Technologist in charge of the Aromatics Unit Operations. The Technology used was Lummus DPG Hydrogenation 1st and 2nd Stage and Union Carbide Tetra Extraction Process in the Benzene Unit. This unit was the first to have the Multiple Upcomer Trays in the Extractor developed at the time by Union Carbide Linde Division. The Pilot Plant for the Multiple Upcomer Trays was ran at St. Charles Operations. Later the process was changed by UOP to the Carom Process by adding another Solvent to the Tetraethyleneglycol used in the Tetra Process.

I was a member of the Petrosar Aromatics Technology Team in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada in the 1970’s. At that time Union Carbide was a 20% owner of the Petrosar Plant that is now Nova. The Aromatics Technology Team helped to startup


the Aromatics Unit at Nova because the technology used was the Union Carbide Tetra Process.
