C4 to C18+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This feasibility study presents an economic analysis of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States. The process presented is similar to Shell Higher Olefins Process (SHOP) in which LAOs ranging from C4 to C18 are obtained. This process comprises three steps: oligomerization, isomerization and disproportionation.

C4 to C30+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This report provides the economics of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States. The process examined in this report produces LAOs ranging from C4 to C30+ using a process similar to Chevron Phillips process. Ethylene is initially submitted to oligomerization, and this reaction effluent is subjected to a transalkylation reaction.
Commodity Production Costs
C4 to C16+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This study presents a techno-economic analysis of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this report, a process similar to INEOS process is analyzed, producing linear alpha-olefins ranging from C4 to C16+, mainly C6 to C10. Ethylene oligomerization is carried out in a reaction with triethylaluminum produced on site, increasing the chain of the alkyls bonded aluminum.
Commodity Production Costs
C4 to C12+ Linear Alpha Olefins from Ethylene (Zirconium Catalyst)
This report presents the economics of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this case, C4 to C12+ linear alpha-olefins are obtained via a process similar to Alpha-SABLIN process (jointly developed by SABIC and Linde). This process employs a bubble-column type reactor in which a homogenous catalyst system is introduced together with a solvent.
Commodity Production Costs
C4 to C12+ Linear Alpha Olefins from Ethylene (Iron Complex Catalyst)
This report approaches an economic analysis of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. The process examined in this report produces C4 to C12+ linear alpha-olefins via ethylene oligomerization, following a process similar to DuPont Versipol process.
Commodity Production Costs
C6 to C8 Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This report provides a feasibility study of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States using a process similar to Sasol Technology. In this process, ethylene is oligomerized to produce mainly C6 and C8 linear alpha-olefins.
