A method for producing cartoon animation using character animation and mesh deformation is provided. At least part of the C8 aromatic hydrocarbon-containing stream is then supplied to a para-xylene recovery unit to recover para-xylene from the C8 aromatic hydrocarbon-containing stream and produce a para-xylene depleted stream. A thermal break included in the load train can thermally insulate a load cell positioned along the load train within the inert gas vessel. The internal ground plane may be formed from sheet metal structures having engagement features such as tabs bent upwards at an angle.
