Abstract:
A process is presented for the oxidative dehydrogenation of butenes to butadienes. The process includes the use of parallel reactors, wherein the reactors are operated at different pressures. A butene feedstream is split into several portions wherein each portion is passed to a different reactor. Each reactor generates an effluent stream, and the effluent stream is cooled to generate steam for use in a lower pressure reactor.

Claim (Index 12):
A process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of a butene feedstock, comprising:\n splitting the butene feedstock into a plurality of portions, wherein each portion is passed to a separate reactor in a plurality of parallel reactor, and wherein the reactors are operated at different pressures, and wherein the reactors operating in parallel have decreasing pressures with the first reactor having the highest pressure and the last reactor having the lowest pressure; passing an oxidizing agent to each reactor; passing steam to each reactor, wherein the steam is passed in a decreasing amount and pressure to each reactor operated at a lower pressure to generate an effluent stream from each reactor; and passing each reactor effluent to a quench tower to generate a cooled process stream with a reduced water content.
