Engineering Alkanes to Olefins and Higher Value Chemicals

The technological world of olefins, building blocks of the current Industrial Chemistry

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ((NAII,volume 191))

Abstract

Olefins are the building blocks of choice for manufacturing a huge amount of commodities and specialties. A network of technologies connects the fossil raw materials (crude oil, Natural Gas, condensates etc.) with the olefins and the final products. The basic concepts of these technologies are reported, together with the expected trends in their evolution.
