- Petrochemical industry uses light naphtha from a refinery as a raw material to produce lower olefins such as ethylene and propylene by steam cracking. These lower olefins are important basic raw materials for various chemical products such as fibers and plastics (synthetic resins).
- light naphtha and steam are mixed at a certain ratio and then pyrolyzed under conditions of high temperature and no catalyst above 800 ° C to produce lower olefins.
- the production ratio is about 2: 1 and is a simple pyrolysis reaction, so it is difficult to change this ratio.

- the OCT process can produce 2 moles of propylene from 1 mole of ethylene and 1 mole of butene using a special catalyst.
- OCT Pros commercial equipment is used in combination with light naphtha steam cracking to produce propylene using ethylene and butene produced by steam cracking.
- the production amount of propylene is governed by the production amount of butene produced by steam cracking, for example, the production ratio of ethylene and propylene in the facility in which the commercial equipment of the OCT process is installed in the facility of the steam cracker is About 1: 1 is the limit.
- the production ratio of ethylene and propylene is about 1: 1.5 to 1: 3 depending on the reaction conditions, which is more than in the case of steam cracking or combining the OCT process with steam cracking. Propylene production ratio can be dramatically increased.
