Steam cracking of ethane is the most widely used process for making ethylene. U.S. 6,578,378 (to Technip-Coflexip) gives a typical ethane cracker product composition and describes an improved separation process for ethylene recovery. U.S. 5,990,370 (to BP) gives yields for ethane, propane, and mixtures. U.S. 5,271,827 (to Stone Webster) gives details of furnace design and yields for a naphtha feed. Several other separation schemes for ethylene and propylene recovery are described in the literature. Estimate the cost of production for a new steam cracking facility that produces 1 million metric tons per year of ethylene and 600,000 metric tons per year of propylene. What feedstock would you recommend ...
