Pentene
As of 2010s, the only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene was Sasol Ltd., where it is separated from crude by the Fischer-Tropsch process.The DCC uses vacuum gas oil (VGO) as a feedstock to produce primarily propylene, isobutylene, and isoamylene.The rise in demand for polypropylene has encouraged the growth of the DCC, which is operated very much like the FCC.Propylene, isobutene, and amylenes are feedstocks in the alkylation units of refineries.Using isobutane, blendstocks are generated with high branching for good combustion characteristics.
