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.

Isobutylene from Isobutane (Platinum-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation)
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.

Isobutylene from Isobutane (Chromium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation)
This report presents the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the United States. The process examined is a dehydrogenation process similar to Lummus CATOFIN. This technology uses a proprietary chromium dehydrogenation catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor.

Isobutylene from Isobutane (Steam Reforming and Oxyreaction)
This report analyses the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the USA. The process examined is a dehydrogenation process similar to Uhde STAR. Initially, isobutane undergoes steam reforming, which is followed by oxyreaction, yielding isobutylene.
