Abstract: Apparatuses and processes for producing a para-xylene stream in an aromatics complex which include a toluene methylation unit and an adsorptive separation unit. A hydrogenation zone and an oxygenate removal zone are utilized to remove oxygenates from the effluent of the toluene methylation unit. The hydrogenation zone may be a liquid phase hydrogenation zone.
