Aromatization is a refining and petrochemical process where aliphatic hydrocarbons found in crude oil are converted into aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene, and xylene. This is typically achieved using high heat and catalysts. The process increases the octane rating of fuels and produces valuable feedstocks for chemical manufacturing.
