Oxygenates are hydrocarbons containing oxygen atoms as part of their molecular structure.
Summarizing the outcome of the technical evaluation in Part 1 of this technical study, a tailor-made process route should be chosen for proper C4 hydrocarbon processing to obtain the best benefits from case to case.
Crude C4 streams from the steam cracker unit or the fluidized catalytic cracker unit contain valuable hydrocarbons, such as butadiene and C4 olefins.
