Book excerpt: This is a free full sample report offered by Intratec Solutions to demonstrate, in advance, the type of information you will get when you buy one of our reports, offering the same standard and structure (types of graphs, tables and descriptions) that you will find in all of our Cost Analysis Overview reports. This report presents alternatives for producing PG Propylene from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of PG Propylene production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Propylene Production from Light Naphtha * Pathway 2: Propylene Production from Ethylene and Butenes * Pathway 3: Propylene Production from Propane (with Hydrogen Generation) Pathway 1 corresponds to a steam cracker for Propylene production (ethylene as co-product). In Pathway 2, Propylene is produced via metathesis reaction of ethylene with 2-butene (present in raffinate-2 feedstock). In Pathway 3, propane is dehydrogenated to Propylene with hydrogen generated being valued as fuel. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: - Comparative analysis of capital costs - Comparative analysis of production costs * Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway - An overview of each production pathway, including: - Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated - Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Propene, Ethene, Steam Cracking, PDH, Propane Dehydrogenation, Olefins Conversion Technology, OCT

This book was released on 2019 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propylene is an important material chemical intermediary because it can be utilized in numerous applications like the electricity and many other, but the main application of propylene is to make it as polypropylene. There are many processes that produce propylene, but the propylene production is connected with methanol by Lurgi's MTP that involves the dehydration operations. The LURGI MTP technology produce more amount of propylene than the other processes. The objective of this capstone project is to produce 80, 000 tons per year of propylene from methanol. Moreover, nowadays, there are many processes that have been develops and improved to produce the propylene the recent one is for dehydration the methanol because it gives the high production conversion of propylene (yield) which is equals to 45.44% with applying some of zeolite catalysts to achieve this process. The process flow diagram was designed and detailed by using available literature and performing the material and energy balance for the entire process. The first step was to star this project was to analyze the required amount of methanol for the process was equals to be 1124269.182 kg/days or 1462.06 kmol/hr. In addition, the design section calculations were detailed for several units and the main equipment of the process that includes which are pump, Shell & tube Heat Exchanger, BPR reactor, multicomponent distillation column and compressor. The design involved many calculations for example diameter, height, area, and volume, also the required weight of the catalyst for the DME reactor. In addition, the analysis of economics was assembled which the plants results originate to be profitable and having a payback period, and the plant was found to be with a payback period of 1.71 years. Finally, the environmental impacts and ethical issues was discussed. Also, for the HAZOP was done and explained for all the equipment and units that designed.

Download or read book Beyond Oil and Gas written by George A. Olah and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is currently consuming about 85 million barrels of oil a day, and about two-thirds as much natural gas equivalent, both derived from non-renewable natural sources. In the foreseeable future, our energy needs will come from any available alternate source. Methanol is one such viable alternative, and also offers a convenient solution for efficient energy storage on a large scale. In this updated and enlarged edition, renowned chemists discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the pros and cons of humankind's current main energy sources, while providing new ways to overcome obstacles. Following an introduction, the authors look at the interrelationship of fuels and energy, and at the extent of our non-renewable fossil fuels. They also discuss the hydrogen economy and its significant shortcomings. The main focus is on the conversion of CO2 from industrial as well as natural sources into liquid methanol and related DME, a diesel fuel substitute that can replace LNG and LPG. The book is rounded off with an optimistic look at future possibilities. A forward-looking and inspiring work that vividly illustrates potential solutions to our energy and environmental problems.
