Report Abstract
It presents the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the United States, using a dehydrogenation process similar to UOP Oleflex. This technology uses a proprietary platinum dehydrogenation catalyst in a moving-bed reactor.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Isobutylene production and related Isobutylene production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Isobutylene production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Isobutylene plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Isobutylene plant operating costs (Opex).
The Isobutylene production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Isobutylene plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Isobutylene plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Isobutylene. Isobutylene (also known as Isobutene) is one of the butylene isomers, used as an intermediate in the production of MTBE, ETBE, isooctane, and methacrolein. Polymerization of Isobutylene produces butyl rubber. Most of times, C4 isomers are produced commercially as by-products from petroleum refinery/petrochemical processes. Isobutylene, specifically, can be produced on commercial scale from processes based on the dehydration of tert-butyl alcohol and on the catalytic dehydrogenation of isobutane.
Raw Material
Isobutane. Isobutane, also known as methylpropane, is a chemical compound mainly used as refrigerant. Presenting a very low Global Warming Potential (having a value of 3.3 times the GWP of carbon dioxide), isobutane has in fact replaced chlorofluorocarbon or hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants in air conditioning systems. Manufacturing of isobutane may rely on isomerization of n-butane or in the separation of a mixed C4 hydrocarbons stream generated in naphtha crackers.

Isobutylene Production from Crude C4s
This study presents the economics of Isobutylene production from a crude C4s stream in the United States., using an extraction process similar to Total Isobutylene Acid Extraction process. In this process, sulfuric acid reacts with isobutylene to form an alcohol that is separated from the crude C4 raw material and, through a dehydration step, isobutylene is recovered.
