1-Butene from Raffinate-2 (Hydrogenation Followed by Fractionation)
This feasibility study concers 1-Butene production from raffinate-2. In this study, raffinate-2 is first subjected to a hydrogenation step before fractionation. Raffinate-3 is generated as by-product. The economic analysis is also based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Butene E23A target a 120 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
1-Butene from Raffinate-2 (Fractionation Followed by Isomerization)
In the process reviewed in this report, raffinate-2 is sent to a fractionation step and further subjected to an isomerization step to produce 1-Butene. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Butene E24A target a 120 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
1-Butene from Raffinate-2 (Adsorption)
This report presents a techno-economic analysis about 1-Butene production from raffinate-2 in the United States. In this study, a molecular sieve adsorption process similar to the UOP Sorbutene technology is used to extract 1-butene from the raffinate stream.

About Butene. Butene (a.k.a. Butenes, Butylene) refers to a range of linear isomeric olefins (1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene). It a colorless, flammable mixture, insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic compounds. The isomers hardly occur naturally and have been known since the end of the nineteenth century. They are usually coproduced as a single mixture and are formed as byproducts of petroleum cracking for gasoline manufacture or catalytic dehydrogenation of butanes. For this reason, butenes production grew rapidly with the growth of cracking processes.
Butene Uses. The uses and applications of Butene may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Butene are technical grade (95% minimum purity); chemically pure (CP,99% minimum purity); and research grade (99.4% for 1-butene,99.8% for cis-butene-2 and 99.9% for trans-butene-2).
Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.
The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.
Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
