DimEne-B® - Dimerization towards high purity synthetic C₄ fraction
DimEne-B® supports the transition of the petrochemical industry towards chemicals. DimEne-B® is part of Axens Homogeneous Catalysis Portfolio, positioned to deliver large Butene-1 production capacity in a single train configuration by ethylene dimerization. This treatment specifically focuses in capacities larger than 150-200kta of Butene-1 per train with high selectivity level.
This treatment allows also to co-produce high purity Butene-2, which can be advantageously valorized in the petrochemicals field (metathesis, INA, MEK, Butadiene…) and produce synthetic rich olefins C₄ fraction.
Axens provides also DimEne-B® associated services such as technical consulting and studies, as well as technical project, engineering work and studies including surveys in the field of C₄ fraction production.
Deliver large Butene-1 production capacity in a single train configuration
Can be configured to produce synthetic high purity n-butenes from Ethylene
Key technology to convert Ethylene to Propylene via metathesis without butenes feedstocks
One other technology features of the Prime G+® is, being coupled with Axens’ Polyfuel® technology, to offer the possibility to turn Olefinic feedstock into high value Products. LPG and LCN Upgrading towardistillates while maintaining good quality gasoline.
CO2 capture: Lhoist joins ArcelorMittal France, IFP Energies nouvelles, Axens and Total in the dinamX project
Coordinated by Axens, the four-year dinamX “Demonstration and Innovative Applications of the DMX™ Process” project was launched by partners ArcelorMittal France, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) and Total in 2020. Supported by the French Investments for the Future Program led by ADEME, dinamX is aimed at studying the application potential of DMX™ technology, stemming from IFPEN’s Research, for the decarbonization of blast furnace gases to new types of industrial CO₂ emitters.
