Background

Global C4&C5 resources mainly from the refinery catalytic crackers and naphtha crackers. The main components of C4 are butene, butane, butadiene, etc; while C5’s are dicyclopentadiene, isoprene, pentadiene, pentane, etc.

Under the new wave of US ethane crackers, C4&C5 capacity growth will be limited. In the future, the growth of C4&C5 capacity will mainly from Asia, especially China. China's C4 resource utilization rate is much lower than the US, and the derivatives are similar. The booming of petrochemical and coal/methanol to olefins, will cause the high-value utilization of C4&C5 by-products significant to China's industrial competitiveness. ASIACHEM believes that, depth development of C4&C5 not only can enhance the current benefits, but also contribute to long-term companies.

With the blooming of refining and chemical integration, coal to olefins industry in China, how about the prospects of C4&C5 raw materials supply and high-value utilization? What opportunities and challenges will encounter?

China C4&C5 High-value Utilization Conference 2017 will be held on August 30-31 in Nanjing. The upcoming event will discuss the Global and China’s C4&C5 resources status and trends; C4&C5 utilization technologies and catalysts; C4&C5 high-value derivatives and prospect analysis; Engineering examples of C4&C5 by-products value-added utilization; C4 star products - butadiene and alkylates; New C4&C5 high-end chemicals deep processing technologies and economics, etc.
