    摘要: A process (100) for the production of linear alpha-olefins is proposed, wherein ethylene in a feed mixture is subjected to catalytic oligomerization (1) to obtain a product mixture containing alpha-olefins with different chain length and side compounds. In a primary fractionation (2), a primary fraction is formed using at least part of the product mixture, and in a secondary fractionation (4), a secondary fraction is formed using at least part of the primary fraction. The primary fractionation (2) and the secondary fractionation (4) are carried out such that the primary fraction and the secondary fraction predominantly contain one of the alpha-olefins and are low in or free of other alpha-olefins, that the primary fraction contains one or more of the side compounds, and that the secondary fraction is depleted relative to the primary fraction in the one or more side compounds. In an intermediate step (3) between the primary fractionation (2) and the secondary fractionation (4), to which at least part of the primary fraction is subjected, the one or more side compounds are at least partly converted to one or more secondary compounds, and the one or more secondary compounds are at least partly separated in the secondary fractionation (4). The intermediate step (3) is carried out in such a way that not more than 0.8% of the alpha-olefin predominantly contained in the primary fraction or the part thereof subjected to the intermediate step is reacted. The intermediate step is carried out using an alumina-based catalyst.

    摘要: A process for producing ethylene by oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane using a shell-and-tube reactor having reaction tubes extending between a first end and a second end includes disposing one or more catalyst beds in each of the reaction tubes. In each of the reaction tubes, a ratio of a total length of the one or more catalyst beds between the first end and the second end to a diameter of each of the reaction tubes has a value between 150 and 400. The shell-and-tube reactor is operated at a linear velocity of 250 to 800 cm/s, and the one or more catalyst beds are configured such that a ratio of active catalyst mass to effective cooling area is in a range between 1.5 and 5 kg/m2.

    摘要: A method of steam cracking using a steam cracking system includes a first steam cracking furnace unit or a plurality of first steam cracking furnace units and a second steam cracking furnace unit or a plurality of second steam cracking furnace units. The first steam cracking furnace unit or each of the plurality of first steam cracking furnace units comprises one or more fired steam cracking furnaces. The second steam cracking furnace unit or each of the plurality of second steam cracking furnace units comprises one or more electric steam cracking furnaces. The first steam cracking furnace unit or each of the plurality of first steam cracking furnace units further includes means for preheating at least a part of combustion air provided to its fired steam cracking furnace or furnaces to a temperature level of at least 100° C.
