Abstract

An existing ethylene plant was studied, using a computer-simulated flexibility analysis, to determine the changes required to convert one of the cracking furnaces from ethane feed to naphtha feed. The simulation determined the changes in flow rate, operating temperature, and steam/hydrocarbon ratio that would result from the liquid feed.

Update on recent pyrolysis furnace revamps

Conference Bowen, C; Kranz, E; Creighton, K

The furnace section consumes most of the fuel fired and 25 percent of the net energy in an ethylene plant is, accordingly, the area where the most dramatic improvement in reducing energy costs in the plant can be realized. The various possible furnace revamps generally fall into two categories, namely: Heat Conservation - revamps which fall under this category are items such as air preheat addition, increased and/or upgraded insulation, reduction of heat leakage by means of seal welded casings and terminal tube seals, additional heat recovery surface in the convection section, and improved air-oxygen control of the furnace; Feedstockmore »« less
Techno-Economic Analysis on an Electrochemical Non-oxidative Deprotonation Process for Ethylene Production from Ethane

Technical Report Hu, Hongqiang; Ding, Dong; Knighton, Lane; ...

This report has been prepared as part of a study for Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) program to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of integrating a light-water reactor (LWR) nuclear power plant (NPP) with an electrochemical, nonoxidative deprotonation (ENDP) process for production of ethylene from ethane. Process synthesis and modeling were utilized to assess the economic feasibility. ENDP is a novel, early TRL (~1-2) process for producing ethylene and hydrogen via the electrochemical dehydrogenation of ethane. It is currently being demonstrated at the laboratory scale at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Ethane is a plentiful feedstock that is separated asmore »« less

Co-cracking of ethane and naphtha in millisecond furnaces

Journal Article Nowowiejski, G; Petterson, W; Kii, T; ... - Chem. Eng. Prog.; (United States)

This paper presents results of an experimental program in which the process of short contact pyrolysis of mixtures of ethane and naphthas has been investigated as an economic alternative way to the production of olefins. The benefits of co-cracking of ethane recycle with naphtha feed in millisecond furnace are demonstrated. There is a directional improvement is selectivity to ethylene product which would result in about 2% less naphtha consumption at constant ethylene production. There is greater operating flexibility in terms of processing additional fresh ethane or LPG, when the furnace area is designed with the co-cracking concept.
Microwave-Fluidized Catalytic Reactor for the Direct Conversion of Methane to Higher Hydrocarbons (Final Report)

Technical Report Skoptsov, George; Mantri, Aayush; Viswanathan, Vignesh; ...

With the discovery of vast quantities of natural gas in shale formations in the U.S. comes the opportunity to convert this gas into value-added chemicals. Practical and cost-effective conversion technologies are needed to more wisely, cleanly (without CO2 production or water consumption) and efficiently use natural gas. As the capital cost of state-of-the art chemical plants continues to grow, smaller distributed modular plants that can be deployed closer to rural gas fields offer economic advantages. Advanced conversion concepts are especially needed to utilize "economically stranded" gas associated with oil production which is wastefully and harmfully flared. These challenges will bemore »« less
Industry trends indicate need to optimize propylene yield will grow

Journal Article Mol, A - Oil Gas J.; (United States)

Most new steam crackers will be based mainly on ethane feed. Therefore, it can be expected that the propylene price will approach the ethylene transfer price, particularly in Europe. Consequently, existing crackers using propane and heavier feedstocks will have to operate at lower severity to optimize the propylene yield. The most convenient way to control the P/E product ratio is the coil outlet temperature. Propylene yield is rather insensitive to hydrocarbon partial pressure (steam dilution and outlet pressure). It is also rather insensitive to the residence time of the cracking process. Operation at low steam dilution will be more economicalmore »« less
