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. This study follows the same pattern as all Technology Economics studies developed by Intratec. About Technology Economics Technology Economics studies are advisory services ordered by leading chemical companies, which are disclosed to public if they allow so. All Technology Economics studies are based on the same rigorous methodology and well-defined structure, encompassing: Process flow diagrams and material balances Raw material and utility consumptions Major equipment sizing Inside and outside battery limits capital costs Detailed fixed and variable manufacturing expenses

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

Download or read book Research Economics Green Ethylene from Ethanol written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 68 pages. 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.
