The Role of Ethane in Natural Gas: Extraction & Processing
Received Date: Sep 01, 2023 / Published Date: Sep 29, 2023
Abstract
Ethane, a simple hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H6, might not be as famous as its sibling, methane, but it plays a crucial role in the petrochemical industry and modern life. Often overshadowed by its more well-known counterparts like ethylene and propane, ethane deserves recognition for its versatile applications and contributions to various industries. Ethane is a colorless and odourless gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It is a linear molecule composed of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, making it the simplest alkane in the hydrocarbon family. Ethane can be found naturally in natural gas reservoirs, where it often coexists with methane and other hydrocarbons.
