Modeling and Optimization of Joint Gasoline, Ethane, and Propane Pyrolysis

Abstract

Possible variants of gasoline pyrolysis intensification, i.e., implementation of the process with separation and reinjection of the ethane or propane formed into the pyrolysis retort for further conversions, and recirculation of both hydrocarbons simultaneously, i.e., joint gasoline, ethane, and propane pyrolysis, are studied. The yields of the target products (ethylene and propylene) in all three cases are compared with the yields of hydrocarbons in the industrial process without recirculation. The profit an enterprise can get by applying this method is calculated.
