  • They belong to a class of compounds called aromatics hydrocarbons or aryl hydrocarbons
  • In petroleum refining and petrochemical Industries, BTEX hydrocarbons is the mixture of four components Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes
  • The xylenes are the mixture of xylenes isomers (p-xylene, o-xylene and m-xylene)
  • The BTX in petrochemical industries and petroleum refining refers to a mixture of three components Benzene, toluene and Xylenes. 
  • BTEX are the chemicals found in fuel
