The unit in question is an olefin aromatization plant capable of producing high-octane gasoline blending components at a rate of 200,000 tons per year; the plant underwent technical upgrades recently. A new alkane aromatization unit has been added, and the liquefied gas derived from the old unit’s C4 products is now used to produce propane. . . I don’t have any ready-made materials. I’m looking for guidelines on getting things started; please contact me if you have any information on this topic.
Are there mature technologies for alkane aromatization in China? Looking forward to it
Do you mean that the highly purified gas after the reaction is aromatized to form liquid-phase products and propane? In that case, would the product density be around 87, resulting in liquefied gas with a high propane content as a by-product? I’ve also heard of such modifications, but to determine exactly what role the catalyst plays, it’s necessary to examine the composition of the raw materials and products after operation begins! When will your facility start operating?
Now everyone is installing liquefied gas aromatization units, which raises the price of liquefied gas and eliminates any profit margin. The technologies used in these units across different regions are still those from Dalian or Luoyang
The alkanes remaining after the olefins in liquefied gas have been converted into aromatics are then converted into aromatics as well
Currently, the liquefied gas aromatization units in use in China are mostly based on the technology developed by Dalian University of Technology’s Qiwanda; most of them are used for producing blended gasoline, and this technology is quite mature.
Regarding the aromatization of alkanes, isobutane is likely to be the main reactant, with the products being blended oils and propane. Compared to the aromatization of olefins, the only changes that would be necessary are those in the catalyst and reaction temperature; additionally, there is the issue of making use of the energy contained in the reaction products at high temperatures. This is just my personal opinion
Is there any technology that allows alkanes to participate in aromatization these days?
How could technologies that are not yet fully industrialized be given to you so easily?
Currently, the utilization of C4 has received a great deal of attention, and the technology should be on par with that developed by Dalian University of Technology. There are many downstream products, and the profits are quite substantial! Both olefins and alkanes can be utilized; isomers, aromatics, MTBE, isobutylene, SBA/MEK – all are viable options
The main product of alkane aromatization is triphenyl! Alkane cracking can produce propane, right?
