Abstract: A method (100) for producing olefins is proposed, wherein a first gas mixture (b) is produced by means of a steam cracking process (1) and a second gas mixture (s) is produced by means of an oxygenate-to-olefin process (2), the first gas mixture (b) and the second gas mixture (s) each containing at least hydrocarbons with one to four carbon atoms.

Abstract: A method (100) for obtaining olefins is proposed, wherein a first gas mixture (b), which is produced by a steam cracking process (1), is at least partially used to form a first separation feedstock (f) which contains hydrocarbons with one to five carbon atoms, and from which at least a first separation product (g) and a second separation product (h, o) are produced, the first separation product (g) containing at least the greater proportion of the hydrocarbons with one carbon atom and of the hydrocarbons with two carbon atoms contained in the first separation feedstock (f), and the second separation product (h, o) containing at least the greater proportion of the hydrocarbons with four carbon atoms and of the hydrocarbons with five carbon atoms contained in the first separation feedstock (f), and wherein a second gas mixture (r) which is produced by an oxygenate-to-olefin process (2) is used at least partially to form a second separation feedstock (t) which contains hydrocarbons with one to five carbon atoms,

Abstract: A method for separating a hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon mixture (C2minus), which in addition to the hydrogen essentially contains hydrocarbons with two carbon atoms and methane, using a distillation column (10). Fluid (a, c, e) of the hydrocarbon mixture (C2minus) is cooled stepwise at a first pressure level, during which time first condensates (b, d) are separated from the fluid (a, c, e). Fluid (e) from the hydrocarbon mixture (C2minus) which remains gaseous after this is fed at the first pressure level into a C2 absorber (7), to which a liquid reflux (r) is added at the top, while a second condensate (f) is drawn off from the sump of the C2 absorber (7) and a gaseous top stream (g) containing predominantly methane and hydrogen is drawn off at the top of the C2 absorber (7).
