Manufacturing of Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) involves,
– Separation of Normal Paraffin from Jet-A1 Kerosene (UOP Molex) —Our Future project
– Selective Dehydrogenation of Normal Paraffin to Normal Mono Olefins (UOP Pacol, UOP Define)– Our Future project 
– Purification (UOP PEP)– Our future project 
– Alkylation of Benzene with Mono Olefins in presence of UOP Solid Bed Alkylation catalyst (UOP Dental) 
 
The Plant also uses the UOP Shell Sulfolane Benzene Extraction unit to extract Benzene from Reformate and Pyrolysis gasoline streams.
