Download or read book Technology Economics Ethylene Production Via Ethanol Dehydration written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethylene is most frequently produced from petroleum-based feedstock. However, rising oil prices coupled with global concerns about sustainability and global warming have motivated research into ethylene manufacture from renewable sources. Fermentation-derived ethanol has been increasingly used as raw material for renewable ethylene production, presenting the primary advantage of being made from CO2 removed from the atmosphere. The technical aspects of a process to produce ethylene via ethanol dehydration are reviewed, as well as the key economic parameters for the profitability of an ethanol dehydration plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising oil prices and global concerns about sustainability and global warming have motivated research into ethylene manufacture from renewable sources. This report reviews the production of ethylene from ethanol dehydration in a process based on the patent published by BP Chemicals. It is presented a technical and economic evaluation of a unit located in the US Gulf Coast. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed in which the effects of variations in prices and technical parameters on the investment and the operating costs were studied. Green ethylene must be sold with an increased premium over fossil-based ethylene of about 50% in order to make the investment attractive.
