Download or read book Ethylene Production via Steam Cracking of Isobutane - Cost Analysis - Ethylene E51A written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of polymer grade (PG) Ethylene production from isobutane feedstock using a typical steam cracking process. In this process, isobutane is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces through the use of steam. In addition to Ethylene, the process also generates polymer grade propylene, butadiene , raffinate-1 and pygas as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Ethylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Propene, Pyrolysis Gasoline, Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Lummus, KBR, Technip, Linde, S&W
