Summary

ALTHOUGH COMPARISONS HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE BETWEEN HIGH-PRESSURE ETHYLENE/ETHANE SEPARATION USING CLOSED-CYCLE PROPYLENE REFRIGERATION AND LOW-PRESSURE SEPARATION USING OPEN-CYCLE ETHYLENE REFRIGERATION, THESE HAVE NOT BEEN COMPARED ON A STRICTLY SIMILAR BASIS. THE AUTHORS HAVE SHOWN THAT, USING A BETTER COMPARISON, THE LOW-PRESSURE SCHEME CAN SAVE BOTH ON CAPITAL AND RUNNING COSTS. THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO THE MUCH LOWER REFRIGERATION REQUIREMENT WITH ITS SAVINGS IN MOTOR POWER AND COOLING WATER COSTS. D.W.H.
