Download or read book Ethylene Production via Steam Cracking of n-Butane - Cost Analysis - Ethylene E41A written by Intratec and published by Intratec. This book was released on 2017-06-01 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 n-butane feedstock using a typical steam cracking process In this process, n-butane 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
