Volume 7 contains studies on the conversion of the ethane and propane from a conceptual commercial plant to ethylene. Three separate studies on ethylene are included covering economics, ethane/propane supply and demand, and the disposition of the ethylene and derivative chemicals in the market. Also contained in Volume 7 is a study on converting SRC-II naphtha to benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), instead of conversion to gasoline as discussed in Volume 8. As a consequence of extracting BTX, a quantity of highly paraffinic naphtha would remain. The paraffinic naphtha would be an attractive feedstock for conversion to ethylene or for projected future fuel cell generation of electric power. A separate part of Volume 7 discusses future fuel cell technology and the potential for application of this by-product from BTX extraction.
