Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of 1,3-Butadiene (BD) production from n-butane using a dehydrogenation process. The process examined is similar to CB&I Lummus Catadiene process. In the process, n-butane undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction generating a C4s stream containing 1,3-Butadiene. High purity 1,3-Butadiene is obtained after conventional separation steps and an extractive distillation, using n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent. Unreacted butane and butenes recovered are recycled to the dehydrogenation. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Butadiene," Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Butadiene, General," Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing and Design Keywords: Houdry Catadiene, Sud-Chemie, Catalytic Dehydrogenation, BD, Fixed-Bed Reactor, BASF, NMP extraction
