Ethylene Production Via Steam Cracking Of Propane Cost Analysis Ethylene E31a

This report presents a cost analysis of polymer grade (PG) Ethylene production from propane feedstock using a typical steam cracking process. In this process, propane is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces through the use of steam. In addition to Ethylene, the process also generates polymer grade propylene, pygas and a crude C4s stream as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Ethylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Propene, Pyrolysis Gasoline, Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Lummus, KBR, Technip, Linde, S&W
