Tremendous growth in unconventional gas exploration has increased U.S. natural gas liquids (NGL) production, as unconventional tight oil and wet gas plays generate significant volume of NGLs. Recovery of these NGLsmostly ethane, propane and butaneis typically achieved cryogenically via a turbo-expander process resulting in a bottom liquid stream and a top methane-rich stream . Ethane is typically converted to ethylene, a key building block in the chemical industry, via steam-cracking which is the most energy-intensive U.S. chemical manufacturing process . Therefore, ethylene production has been highlighted as a candidate for process intensification to significantly reduce this energy consumption . These energy savings through process intensification (up to 35%) could be achieved by production at reduced temperatures via oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) with additional process energy reduction if air separation units for the oxygen reactant are eliminated . Solid-state electrogenerative reactors are a viable technology for process intensification, with chemicals (olefins) as the main product and electricity as a potential byproduct . These electrogenerative reactors provide an added modular advantage for use at the well-head and can thus separate NGLs from shale gas further improving energy savings.
