Technology Economics: Propylene via Propane Dehydrogenation

ISBN: 978-1-483-95060-0

A comprehensive study about on-purpose propylene production via propane dehydrogenation (PDH), a promising alternative that arises from the growing availability of low-cost propane in the United States, due to the exploitation of shale gas in the country. The technical aspects of a PDH process similar to the UOP Oleflex technology are reviewed. The analysis also includes estimates for both the capital investment and the operating costs of typical plants on the US Gulf Coast and in China. This study follows the same pattern as all Technology Economics studies developed by Intratec.
