Governing Standards for Xylene (C₈H₁₀ - Ortho, Meta, Para) Service
What to Avoid in Xylene (C₈H₁₀ - Ortho, Meta, Para) Service
- NBR or EPDM-seated valves - xylene degrades these elastomers
- Non-fire-safe valves in ATEX Zone 1 process areas
Service Considerations
- Fire-safe API 607 valves mandatory in all xylene process and storage areas
- PTFE or Viton seals only - NBR and EPDM are incompatible with aromatic hydrocarbons
- ESD valves on storage tank connections in PX (para-xylene) plants
- Acetic acid corrosion in PTA oxidation circuits - Hastelloy C-276 required for high-acid streams
