This present disclosure relates to apparatuses for methylation of aromatics in an aromatics complex for producing a xylene isomer product. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to apparatuses for producing para-xylene by the selective methylation of toluene and/or benzene in an aromatics complex using processed toluene instead of crude toluene.

The present disclosure relates to a method for upgrading hydrocarbon using C4, C5 and C6 streams, and more specifically, to a method for upgrading hydrocarbons using C4, C5 and C6 streams. The method includes the steps of: preparing C4, C5 and C6 streams, which are the products of naphtha catalytic cracking (NCC) process, heavy oil upgrading process, thermal cracking process, or fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC or RFCC) process; oligomerizing the C4, C5 and C6 streams with a catalyst to produce branched unsaturated hydrocarbons; and fractional distillating the branched unsaturated hydrocarbons to separate into C14-18 products or C32-40 products.
