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.

This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the increasing demand for new fuels that are economically attractive, and as part of the quest for energy alternatives to replace carbon-based fuels, the purification of ethanol plays a key role. Bioethanol is an environmentally-friendly fuel with less greenhouse gases emissions than gasoline, but with similar energy power. Nevertheless the large-scale production of bioethanol fuel requires energy demanding distillation steps to concentrate the diluted streams from the fermentation step and to overcome the azeotropic behavior of the ethanol-water mixture. This work presents the design and optimization of a dehydration process for ethanol, using two separation sequences: a conventional arrangement using distillation and extractive distillation and an alternative arrangement based on liquid-liquid extraction and extractive distillation. Moreover, different solvents were optimized simultaneously in the liquid-liquid extraction column, while ethylene glycol was used as extractive agent in the extractive distillation (ED). Both sequences were optimized using a stochastic global optimization algorithm of differential evolution (DE) coupled to rigorous Aspen Plus simulations. The economic feasibility of utilities for the two configurations was studied by changing the ethanol/water composition in the analyzed feed stream. The results demonstrate significant savings around 20% in total annual cost when the alternative arrangement is used.

Download or read book Membranes on Polyolefins Plants Vent Recovery written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas separation by membranes has acquired increasing importance in the petrochemical industry and is now a relatively well-established unit operation, especially in the monomer recovery of polymer production processes. Considering the current tight monomers market, polymer degassing steps present potential improvement opportunities, through the recovery of vent streams containing monomers. The economic analysis presented in this report is based upon the installation of a membrane-based propylene recovery unit in a polypropylene plant, a unit similar to MTR VaporSep(r). Such measure was demonstrated to be attractive in the US Gulf Coast, due to propylene scarcity, which has recently raised its market value. The alternative of using such vent streams as fuel showed to be less interesting, since fuel prices are low, due to natural gas growing offerings. About the Publication Program The Improvement Economics Program is a program that provides, by way of periodic reports, insightful and unbiased reviews on process improvement opportunities, from both a technical and economic perspective. Each report presents the following topics: opportunity description schematics, such as flow diagrams technical details, such as heat and material balances, key performance indicators environmental impact analysis capital and operating costs breakdown alternative solutions overview
