The present disclosure provides natural gas and petrochemical processing systems, including oxidative coupling of methane reactor systems that may integrate process inputs and outputs to cooperatively utilize different inputs and outputs in the production of higher hydrocarbons from natural gas and other hydrocarbon feedstocks. The present disclosure also provides apparatuses and methods for heat exchange, such as an apparatus that can perform boiling and steam super-heating in separate chambers in order to reach a target outlet temperature that is relatively constant as the apparatus becomes fouled. A system of the present disclosure may include an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) subsystem that generates a product stream comprising compounds with two or more carbon atoms, and a dual compartment heat exchanger downstream of, and fluidically coupled to, the OCM subsystem.
A system for producing propylene, comprising:
A system for producing hydrocarbon compounds including propylene, comprising:
A system for producing mixed butenes, comprising an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactor, a dimerization reactor in fluid communication with the OCM reactor, and a recovery system in fluid communication with the dimerization reactor, which recovery system is for recovering mixed butenes.
A system for producing butene-1, comprising an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactor, a dimerization reactor in fluid communication with the OCM reactor, and a recovery unit in fluid communication with the dimerization reactor, which recovery unit recovers the butene-1.
