- *Abstract
-
A robust, cost effective process for olefin production uses the autothermal reforming method. This process dehydrogenates hydrocarbons to produce a mono-olefin using a catalyst consisting of platinum modified with copper or tin on a ceramic monolith. The worldwide demand for the production of olefins is higher than any other chemical. Traditionally, steam cracking is heavily relied on for olefin production. This is the most energy consuming process in the chemical industry. Energy costs make up an estimated 70% of the total production costs for olefin plants. Energy management and re-investment are important considerations from both an environmental and economic perspective. The autothermal production of isobutylene is a viable solution to reduce the energy investment and costs associated with producing this chemical.
