INTRODUCTION TO PETROCHEMICAL PROCESSES
9. Petrochemical Processes
What are petrochemicals?
Petrochemicals
i. Chemicals derived from oil and gas
ii. Value-added chemicals made from crude oil or natural gas.
iii. Chemicals derived from petroleum, hydrocarbon liquids, or natural gas.
Petrochemical Processes refers to routes and process topology of manufacturing
petrochemicals. Process topology: Reaction & Reactors, Separation, and Heat Utilization.
“Petrochemical processes is part of the oil and gas value chain”

▪ PARAFFINS: single bonded hydrocarbon
chains (saturated)
▪ OLEFINS: double bonded hydrocarbon chains
(unsaturated)
▪ NAPTHENIC: cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons
(cycloalkanes)
▪ AROMATICS: contained conjugated planar
ring systems with delocalized pi electron clouds
instead od discrete alternating single and
double bonds
