Description:

Following are the results of a study that was prepared to assess the financial viability of an onsite PP Splitter in a refinery. First, the various uses and the demand history for high purity propylene are presented. Next, the interactions of certain process variables are considered, followed by an analysis of the auxiliary facilities required for feed prefractionation,‘product treating and storage. Finally, the results of a financial analysis to determine the rate of return for in-plant recovery facilities processing a range of refinery PP production rates are presented. This study includes the optimization of process variables such as operating pressure, number of trays and reboiler temperature difference. Financial variables that are considered include the value of propylene as a chemical feed and as feed to a refinery Alkylation Unit, utility costs, and capital costs for a new PP Splitter facility. The value of the raw feedstock is also calculated as a function of the high purity propylene product price, and project rate of return is calculated with the alternate value of propylene as alkylation feed as a parameter.
