This report presents alternatives for producing Ethylene from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of Ethylene production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Ethylene Production from Ethane * Pathway 2: Ethylene Production from Ethane and Propane * Pathway 3: Green Ethylene Production from Ethanol In Pathways 1 and 2, Ethylene is produced via steam cracking of different feedstocks: ethane and a mixture of ethane and propane. In Pathway 3, Ethylene is produced from ethanol, which is a renewable feedstock. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: - Comparative analysis of capital costs - Comparative analysis of production costs - Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway * An overview of each production pathway, including: - Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated - Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Ethene, Propene, Shale Gas, CB&I Lummus, Technip, Shaw Stone & Webster, Kellogg-Braun & Root, KBR, Linde, Green Ethylene, Braskem, Chematur Technologies, Petron Scientech, Scientific Design, Dow Chemical, BP, Ethanol Dehydration
This report presents a cost analysis of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene The process examined is similar to Shell OMEGA process. In this process, ethylene is first oxidized with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide, which is further converted to MEG. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8329959, issued to Shell in 2012 (2) US Patent 8217190, issued to Shell in 2012 Keywords: Ethene, Shell, OMEGA, Only MEG Advantage, Oxidation, Catalytic Process
