Efficient directions of C3-C4 gases production

G.R. Mustafayeva

The current status of the problem on use of C3C4 gases, extracted in oil producing plants is looked through in the article and results of complex analyses of the current works in this field are summarized. It was indicated that besides traditional directions (oligomerization and isomerization of propane-propylene, butane- butylenes fractions, as well as alkylation of isobuthane with olyphins) and formation of new ones are observed in the solution of the problem. For the purpose of expanding sort of the products got, there is information about catalytic systems of zeolite content, possessing high activity and selectivity, allowing aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol components and oil-chemistry products. It was indicated that C3C4 gases, which are integral part of any oil production, are very valuable raw material for oil-chemistry production, as well as high-caloric ecologically clean fuel. The most advantageous aspect of these gases is getting stable fluid.
