    Abstract: A simulated moving bed separator and methods for isolating a desired component are provided. A method includes removing a raffinate from a raffinate bed of a simulated moving bed separator. The raffinate includes an undesired component, and the simulated moving bed separator includes a plurality of adsorbent beds circularly coupled together, a distributor, and a plurality of conduits coupling the distributor to the plurality of adsorbent beds. The adsorbent beds include the raffinate bed, a desorbent bed, and a zone 4 flush bed positioned between the raffinate bed and the desorbent bed. Desorbent is added to the desorbent bed through a desorbent conduit. The zone 4 flush conduit is flushed to the desorbent conduit, where the zone 4 flush conduit is coupled to the zone 4 flush bed.

    Abstract: A simulated moving bed process using dual, parallel rotary valves configured or plumbed to be operated independently in which the step times of the rotary valves are staggered. In embodiments, the second rotary valve is programmed to step about halfway through the step time of the first rotary valve. Staggering the step time of the parallel rotary valves, rather than utilizing simultaneous stepping, results in increased net composite paraxylene concentration of the extract stream, allowing for increased capacity of the simulated moving bed process and/or reduced energy consumption.

    Abstract: A process is described for separating paraxylene from a multicomponent fluid mixture of C8 aromatics, and more particularly to a process for separating paraxylene from such a fluid mixture by means of adsorption apparatus, such as moving-bed or simulated moving-bed adsorption apparatus. A process is also described for making paraxylene by making a mixture of C8 aromatics and separating paraxylene from the mixture by means of a simulated moving-bed adsorption apparatus.

    Abstract: A simulated moving bed separator and methods for isolating a desired component are provided. A method includes removing an extract from an extract bed of the simulated moving bed separator, where the extract includes the desired component, and where the simulated moving bed separator includes a plurality of adsorbent beds circularly coupled together. The simulated moving bed separator also includes a distributor and a plurality of conduits fluidly coupling the distributor to the adsorbent beds. The adsorbent beds include the extract bed and a secondary flush bed downstream from the extract bed. A secondary flush conduit is flushed with a secondary flush fluid while removing extract from the extract bed, where the secondary flush conduit fluidly couples the secondary flush bed with the distributor. The flush fluid includes the extract.
