My company generates regular truckloads of quite pure benzene with under one percent of acetaldehyde and under one percent of a low molecular weight unsaturated ether. We are currently burning it but it should be useful to someone for production of benzene derivatives, such as nitrobenzene or a chlorobenzene. Does anyone know of another company in the southeast US that could make use of it?

The material you are making is not nearly up to the purity requirements of organic synthesis. A common specification is '5 degrees F between IBP and FBP'. This is typically 99.9% purity.
