Abstract

A process is presented for the dehydrogenation of paraffins. The process utilizes heated air for the combustion of a fuel within the dehydrogenation reactor to provide the heat of reaction for oxidative dehydrogenation. The nitrogen in the air is utilized as a diluent. A paraffin feedstream is mixed with a fuel, and the fuel/paraffin feedstream is mixed with an oxidant air stream at the inlet of dehydrogenation reactor.
