Intro to Products

BUTADIENE

Butadiene is produced by the extraction of 1,3-butadiene from Mixed C4 produced together with ethylene and propylene during naphtha cracking in the ethylene plant (NCC). It is a gas with a distinct odor extracted at the ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.

CAS number : 106-99-0 / Molecular formula : C4H6

Plant processes

This plant uses mixed C4, produced in the ethylene plant, as feedstock and DMF(Dimethyl Formamide), the extractant, to fractionate and produce 1,3-Butadiene according to the extractive distillation method.

  • First Extractive Distillation Unit
    This unit fractionates acetylenes, that dissolve well in DMF (Dimethyl Formamide), an extractant, among mixed C4 , butane that does not dissolve in BD, and C4 Raffinate-1 containing butene.
  • Second Extractive Distillation Unit
    This unit uses the extractant (DMF) to fractionate crude BD and acetylene from the BD and acetylenes fractionated along with solvents in the first extractive distillation unit.
  • BD Fractionation Unit
    This unit produces high-purity 1,3-butadiene in the two continuous separation columns using the differences in boiling points. Light acetylene is recovered as Off Gas and used as fuel, while heavy butene-2 and acetylene are fractionated as C4 Raffinate-2.
Product uses

Utilized as the raw material of Synthetic Rubber(SBR, NBR, etc.) & resin.
