Download or read book Ethylene Production via Steam Cracking of Ethane - Cost Analysis - Ethylene E11A written by Intratec and published by Intratec. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of polymer grade (PG) Ethylene production from ethane feedstock using a typical steam cracking process. In this process, ethane is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces through the use of steam. In addition to polymer grade Ethylene, the process also generates a methane-rich gas (used as fuel in the cracking furnaces) and hydrogen-rich gas, sold as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Ethylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Lummus, KBR, Technip, Linde, S&W
