Oxidative Hydrogenation Process Data

Table 1 provides mass flowrate information for streams entering and exiting an oxidative hydrogenation process, including 535 lb/hr of propylene in the inlet stream S-208. Table 2 lists the temperature and pressure of process streams. Stream S-208 at 143°F and 100 psia contains various hydrocarbon inputs totaling 19681 lb/hr that are heated and pressurized through heat exchangers and a reactor operating at 752°F and 44 psia to produce outputs including 1247 lb/hr of 1-butene and 15622 lb/hr of 1,3-butadiene in stream S-307.

19681 lbs/hr are in the S-208 stream. The stream (S-208) was condensed and cooled from
240OF and 103 psia to a liquid at 143OF and 100 Psia. The compressed air mixture (7566 lb/hr
Oxygen and 24919 lb/hr Nitrogen) were heated from 372OF to 752OF in a single-pass shell
and tube heat exchanger (H-301). The compressed air mixture at 752OF and 44 psia in S-307
entered the tube side of H-302 and heated the liquid stream in S-208 from 143OF and 100 psia
to 449.2OF and 100 psia at S-301. The pressure is relieved from the stream using V-301, that
reduce the operating pressure from 100 psia to 44 psia. The stream (S-302) is further heated
in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, H-303 from 449.2OF to 792OF. The stream (S-303) and
compressed air stream (S-306) entered the fixed-bed shell and tube packed bed reactor
operating at 752OF and 44 psia. The oxidative dehydrogenation occurred in the fixed-bed shell
and tube packed bed reactor. The reactor effluent leaves at 752OF and 44 psia, the stream is
cooled in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (H-302) from 752OF to 485.3OF and pressure is
raises to 300 psia. The effluent consists of 535 lb/hr Propylene, 1247 lb/hr 1-Butene, 15622
1:3 Butadiene, 2676 lb/hr Carbon Dioxide, 27 lb/hr Oxygen, 24919 lb/hr Nitrogen, 6298 lb/hr
water, 1 Trans-C6, 208 lb/hr Cis-C5 and 633 lb/hr Trans-C5 (Nestlerode et al, 2015).
