We examine the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) using a one-dimensional finite heat dispersion model and present a comprehensive ignition-extinction analysis of the process in an adiabatic autothermal reactor. The six-step kinetic model used in the scale-up studies was derived from lab-scale reactor data and validated over a wide range of experimental conditions. We investigate the impact of ethane to oxygen feed ratio, space time, and bed length on the region of autothermal operation as a function of feed temperature. The results reveal that ethane conversion and ethylene selectivity are not monotonic at the extinction point and there exists an optimum set of design and operating conditions. We also report the impact of operating pressure in terms of fixed linear and mass velocities. Our analysis and comparisons show that ODHE, when operated at high pressure, may lead to performance that is comparable to the ethane steam cracking process.
