ATOFINA/UOP Olefin Cracking Process
The ATOFINA/UOP Olefin Cracking process converts C4 - C8 olefins to
propylene and ethylene at a high propylene-to-ethylene ratio. This
process was developed to help you utilize low value by-product streams
containing C4 - C8 olefins from steam crackers, refineries and methanol-to-olefins
(MTO) plants.
When combined with a steam cracker, the process allows naphtha crackers to
achieve higher propylene/ethylene ratios to help meet the growing gap between
propylene demand and supply from conventional steam cracking plants.
For refineries, the technology utilizes FCC by-product streams and coker naphtha
to increase propylene and ethylene production while reducing the olefin content
of gasoline blending streams with little or no loss of octane.
In MTO complexes, the technology increases the yield of light olefins for a
given amount of methanol feedstock and dramatically reduces the C4+ by-product
streams.
