Abstract

A process is presented for the production of light olefins from a paraffin stream comprising pentanes. The process includes a series of pentane cracking reactors where a process stream having pentane in the process stream passes through the reactors with the process stream heated between each pair of successive reactors, and where the process is operated at low pressures.
