Butylenes and Butadiene Production
UOP butylene and butadiene process technologies can enable you to
obtain high value from crude C4 streams. Butadiene constitutes 40-50%
of the C4 cut of a steam cracker and it can either be recovered via
extraction or be converted to mono-olefins (butene-1 and butene-2).
The KLP process selectively hydrogenates acetylenes in crude C4 streams from
steam crackers. The KLP process is integrated with one-stage extraction to
provide the most cost-effective and reliable means for recovering high purity
butadiene.
If you have no need to extract butadiene (BD), UOP also licenses the Huels
SHP-CB process, which is used to selectively hydrogenate the BD in the C4 cut
to produce butene-1 and butene-2.
The separation of the different C4 components is fairly difficult, which is
why UOP also offers the Huels Butene-1 Separation process, which uses a two-column
approach to cost-effectively produce high-purity butene-1 from raffinate-2
streams.
