A thermal Pyroform process is described. Pyroform is a process for the production of aromatic liquids or the joint production of olefins and aromatics, starting from ethane, propane or ethane-propane mixtures. Butane can also be used, should this be economical. The process has two basic versions: thermal Pyroform and thermal/ catalytic Pyroform. Depending on the feedstock and product slate requirements, a plant can be designed to include one or both options. This approach offers the versatility to handle most light hydrocarbon components.
