Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from an ethylene-rich stream obtained from a typical steam cracking plant, which uses ethane as feedstock. The process examined comprises the separation of ethylene from dried cracked gas, including the following steps: C3+ hydrocarbons separation; acetylene hydrogenation; light ends separation; and ethylene fractionation. In addition to polymer grade Ethylene, the process also generates a hydrogen-rich gas, sold as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Ethylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Deethanizer, Ethane-Ethylene Splitter, C2 Splitter, Lummus, KBR, Technip, Linde, S&W
