UOP Light Olefin Solutions for Propylene and Ethylene Production
Whether you have traditional feedstocks such as propane or naphtha, or alternative feedstocks, such as coal, natural gas or petcoke, UOP has the solution to help you make on-purpose propylene and ethylene at low cash cost of production.
On-Purpose Propylene from Propane

The UOP C3 Oleflex Process produces polymer grade propylene from a propane feedstock allowing you to participate in the growing propylene market, independent of a steam cracker or FCC unit. As the leading propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology in the world, Oleflex provides the lowest cash cost of production and highest return on investment when compared to competing PDH processes via: Low feedstock consumption and low energy usage Dedicated reactor and CCR regenerator systems Highly active and stable catalyst High on-stream factor and run lengths of 3+ years Ability to change catalyst without stopping propylene production Feedstock Propane Processes

On-Purpose Propylene and Ethylene from Cost Advantaged Feestocks

The UOP Advanced MTO Process, which combines the UOP/Hydro MTO Methanol to Olefins Process with the Total Petrochemicals/UOP Olefin Cracking Process, converts cost advantaged alternative feedstocks such as coal, natural gas and petroleum coke to light olefins. The process offers a number of benefits versus competing MTO processes: Highest propylene and ethylene yields with minimum by-product formation Lowest catalyst consumption Wide range of P/E ratio between 1.3 to 1.8 Largest single train light olefin production capacity Feedstock Coal Natural Gas PetCoke

Product Ethylene Propylene
The Advanced MTO process has been fully demonstrated at the semi-commercial scale by Total Petrochemicals in Feluy, Belgium. To date, the site has successfully produced both polypropylene and polyethylene.
Product Propylene
Today there are nine UOP C3 Oleflex units in operation accounting for 55% of the installed world-wide propylene production capacity from PDH technology. UOP offers almost a century of PDH technology experience.
On-Purpose Propylene and Ethylene from By-Products

The Total Petrochemicals/UOP Olefin Cracking Process (OCP) allows you to maximize production and recovery of light olefins from available feedstock sources by converting low-value olefins in mixed by-product streams to propylene and ethylene at high propylene-to-ethylene (P/E) ratios. The OCP technology is capable of processing a wide range of C4-C8 olefins from steam crackers, refinery FCCs/Delayed Cokers and MTO plants.
On-Purpose Propylene from Refinery FCCs

FCC units have long been a source of propylene as a valued by-product of gasoline production. As FCC technology has developed, specialized process designs and catalysts have been developed to increase propylene production. As the leading licensor of FCC technology, UOP has led the way in these developments and offers FCC technologies that span the propylene production range from 8 to 20+ Wt% propylene yield on fresh feed.

Key features of the OCP include: High selectivity to light olefins at 3.5 to 4.0 P/E ratio No loss of ethylene to produce light olefins No inert diluent such as steam required
The new UOP RxProTM process is designed for full refinery/ petrochemical integration. It provides propylene yields that can exceed 20 Wt% of feed and an aromatic rich naphtha stream for BTX recovery and further upgrading in your aromatic complex. Light cycle oil can also be further upgraded to BTX aromatics using the UOP LCO-X process.
Increase Naphtha Cracker and Naphtha Reformer Profitibility

FCC Propylene Spectrum The UOP MaxEneTM process is an innovative method of increasing the yield of ethylene from naphtha crackers by 30% or reducing the feedstock naphtha requirement to obtain equivalent ethylene production. This new process enables refinery and petrochemical plant integration that will maximize the benefits to both facilities. MaxEne, the lasted application of the UOP Sorbex process for adsorptive separation, recovers C5-C11 normal paraffin from naphtha for feed to the naphtha cracker. The remaining naphtha components are a preferred feed for a catalytic reforming unit. The process enables:
