NMP process

BASF butadiene extraction Start
 

Yield & purity


Unsurpassed reliability, stability and efficiency



The NMP process exhibits remarkable flexibility:

its low susceptibility to impurities makes the NMP process capable of processing any industrial C4 feedstock mixture, including but not restricted to C4-cut from naphtha crackers. It operates economically, even with low butadiene content feedstocks.


A hallmark of the NMP process is its efficiency:

Compared to competing technologies, NMP’s resistance to hydrolysis and thermal decomposition reduces solvent consumption by up to 90% or more.

High yield and high purity:

Simultaneously, the process provides a high yield (>98%) of particularly high purity (>99.7%) butadiene.

The butadiene specification can be customized for each application.
