Abstract: A process and apparatus for the recovery of ethane and heavier components from a hydrocarbon feed gas stream. Feed gas stream is cooled (14, 56) and separated (22) into a first vapor stream (24) and a first liquid stream (36’). Vapor stream is divided into a first (26) and a second (28’) gas streams. First gas stream is expanded (70) and sent (30) to a fractionation tower (50). Second gas stream is supplied to an absorber tower (32). At least a part of the first liquid stream is cooled (38) and sent (48) to the absorber. Absorber column produces a lean vapor stream (34) and a second liquid stream (42). Lean vapor stream is cooled (38) and sent to the fractionation tower. Second liquid stream is subcooled (38) and supplied to the fractionation tower. Temperatures and pressures of the streams and columns are maintained to recover a major portion of ethane and heavier hydrocarbon components as bottom product (54), and produce at the fractionation tower overhead, a residue gas stream (52).

Abstract: A process for the recovery of ethane and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon feed gas stream. Feed gas stream is cooled into a first and second cooled streams. First and second cooled streams are sent to a cold absorber and separated into a first gas stream and a first liquid stream. First gas stream is expanded and sent to a fractionation tower. At least a part of the first liquid stream is sent to a pre-demethanizer stripper tower. Stripper tower produces a stripper overhead stream and a stripper bottoms stream. Stripper overhead vapor stream is cooled and sent to the fractionation tower as second reflux stream. Stripper bottoms stream is supplied to the fractionation tower. Temperatures and pressures of the streams and columns are maintained to recover a major portion of ethane and heavier hydrocarbon components as a bottom product stream, and produce a residue gas stream at the fractionation tower overhead. At least a portion of the residue gas stream is recycled, cooled and sent to the fractionation tower as first reflux stream.

Abstract: An integrated process combines olefin epoxidation with production of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol for nylon. Cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol normally produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane, in which cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is generated and is removed or decomposed down stream. However, this invention utilizes the intermediate of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant for the olefin epoxidation and meanwhile generates a valuable product.

Abstract: A process for the production of alkylbenzene includes the steps of introducing benzene and an olefin feed into a first alkylation reaction zone in the presence of a first alkylation catalyst under first alkylation reaction conditions to produce alkylbenzene and a vapor containing unconverted olefin; absorbing the unconverted olefin into an aromatic stream containing benzene and alkylbenzene; and, introducing the aromatic stream containing absorbed olefin into a second alkylation reaction zone containing a second alkylation catalyst under second alkylation reaction conditions to convert the absorbed olefin and at least some of the benzene of the aromatic stream to alkylbenzene. The process is particularly advantageous for the alkylation of benzene with ethylene to produce ethylbenzene. About 99.9 % conversion of ethylene is achieved overall, with a substantial reduction in the required catalyst.

Abstract: A C3 to C6 hydrogen cut from a cracking unit is processed for the conversion of olefins to propylene and hexene via autometathesis. The autometathesis of a mixed normal butenes feed in the presence of a metathesis catalyst operates without any ethylene in the feed mix to the metathesis reactor. Some fraction of the 2-butene feed may be isomerized to 1-butene and the 1-butene formed plus the 1-butene in the feed react rapidly with the 2-butene to form propylene and 2-pentene. The feed to the reactor also includes the recycle of the 2-pentene formed in the reactor with unreacted butenes to simultaneously form additional propylene and hexene. In one embodiment, some or all of the 3-hexene formed in the reaction is isomerized to 1-hexene. In another embodiment, some portion of the 3-hexene produced in the main metathesis reaction is reacted with ethylene to produce 1-butene without the need for superfractionation. In another embodiment, the 3-hexene product is hydrogenated and recycled back to the cracking heaters.
