%X Xylenes are one of the important chemicals used as solvents. They are widely
used as thinners and solvents is paints, varnishes, adhesives and inks. Xylene can
be produced with several processes namely 1) Catalytic Reforming Process 2)
Proses Pyrolisis Gasoline Process 3) Coke Oven Light Oil Process and 4)
Disproportionation Toluene Process. On the Manufacturing of xylene was
selected Disproportionation Toluene Process that is more profitable in terms of
