Notes:
The feasibility of methane coupling as an add-on unit to a naphtha cracker was studied. The existing cold box was used for separation of ethylene and unconverted methane, but arrangements were made for separation of the coupling by-products. The cracker's methane was used as a feedstock. The concept is technically and economically feasible at spring 1992 prices, provided the catalyst meets the assumed 30% conversion and 80% C2 selectivity.
