Claim Text:
1. A system for producing at least one fluorinated olefin comprising: a. a hydrogenation reactor; b. a starting material feed stream fluidly connected to said hydrogenation reactor, wherein said starting material feed stream comprises hexafluoropropylene; c. one or more intermediate effluent streams comprising reaction product from said hydrogenation reactor and being fluidly connected to said hydrogenation reactor wherein said at least one intermediate effluent stream comprises 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane and 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane; d. a first separator fluidly connected to said one or more intermediate effluent streams, wherein at least one of said intermediate streams is cooled prior to entering said first separator; e. one or more post separator streams fluidly connected to said first separator; f. a first recycle stream fluidly connected to said first separator and said hydrogenation reactor, wherein a cooled recycle stream separated from said at least one intermediate effluent stream is introduced into said hydrogenation reactor; g. a dehydrohalogenation reactor fluidly connected to at least one of said post separator streams; h. a product stream fluidly connected to said dehydrohalogenation reactor wherein said product stream comprises 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluororpropene; i. a second separator fluidly connected to said product stream; j. a second recycle stream fluidly connected to said second separator and said hydrogenation reactor, wherein said second recycle stream comprises 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene; and k. a final product stream fluidly connected to said second separator, wherein said final product stream is rich in 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropene.
