Industrial Process Economics Reports About Butenes Butenes are linear isomeric olefins (1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene) formed from petroleum cracking for gasoline production or catalytic dehydrogenation of butanes. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Butenes production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an

About our Methodology Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports. Intratec's highly experienced engineers start the development of process economics reports with in-depth, comprehensive research on the technology examined, encompassing patents and available technical literature, non-confidential information provided by technology licensors and Intratec's in-house database. This exhaustive research provides a clear and consistent understanding of the process technology studied, including chemical, biological and/or physical transformations occurring in the target process, as well as reactants required and products formation. That knowledge is compiled into a detailed process block flow scheme and a mapping of key process input & output figures (including raw materials consumption). Finally, in the assessment of the economic figures of the process technology under analysis, Intratec’s team relies on an extensive inhouse database and robust cost models. Our cost models were founded on a number of established cost-estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known industrial processes.

Reports Focused on Butenes Production Economics ECONOMICS OF BUTENES PRODUCTION FROM ETHYLENE (BUTENES E11A) This report presents the economics of Butenes production from ethylene using a dimerization process similar to CB&I Lummus process. In the process under analysis, gasoline and fuel oil are generated as by-products. The economic analysis assumes a plant constructed in the USA. ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE PRODUCTION FROM ETHYLENE (BUTENES E12A) This study presents the costs associated with the construction of an industrial plant producing 1-Butene from ethylene in the USA. Different from the report “Butene E11A”, this study analyzes a process similar to the Axens/SABIC AlphaButol technology. In the process under analysis, raffinate-2 is generated as by-product. ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE VIA RAFFINATE EXTRACTIVE DISTILLATION (BUTENES E21A) In this report, the economic analysis concerns a plant, also located in the USA, producing 1-Butene using a conventional industrial approach for extractive distillation of raffinate-2, which also generates raffinate-3 as by-product. ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE VIA SUPERFRACTIONATION OF RAFINATE-2 (BUTENES E22A) Different from the report “Butene E21A”, this report reviews a typical superfractionation process. Raffinate-3 is also generated as byproduct in this process. ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE PRODUCTION FROM RAFFINATE-2 (BUTENES E23A) This feasibility study is also about 1-Butene production from raffinate-2. However, in this study, raffinate-2 is first subjected to a hydrogenation step before fractionation. Raffinate-3 is generated as by-product. The economic analysis is also based on a plant located in the USA.

Reports Focused on Butenes Production Economics ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE PRODUCTION FROM RAFFINATE-2 (BUTENES E24A) In the process reviewed in this report, raffinate-2 is sent to a fractionation step and further subjected to an isomerization step to produce 1-Butene. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the USA. ECONOMICS OF 1-BUTENE VIA ADSORPTION OF RAFFINATE-2 (BUTENES E26A) This report also presents a techno-economic analysis about 1-Butene production from raffinate-2 in the USA. Different from the other reports, in this study, a molecular sieve adsorption process similar to the UOP Sorbutene technology is used to extract 1-butene from the raffinate stream. ECONOMICS OF BUTENES PRODUCTION FROM PROPYLENE (BUTENES E41A) This report shows the economics of Butenes production from propylene via a metathesis process. In the process examined, ethylene is generated as by-product. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the USA.
