Abstract

Systems and processes for producing one or more alkenes from shale gas. The process includes at least two dehydrogenation reactors whereby propane, or a mixture of propane and butane, can be dehydrogenated in a first reactor and ethane can be dehydrogenated in a second reactor. The lighter components which serve as chemical inert and thermal mass are separated from the dehydrogenated product after each reactor.
