Alpha-olefins containing 6-14 carbon atoms are made in a dual displacement loop ethylene/tri-lower alkyl chain growth process which includes, in one closed loop, an initial ethylene/triethyl aluminum (TEA) chain growth, C2-14 olefin separation, 2-stage ethylene displacement, C2-12 olefin separation and recycle of residual TEA and higher olefins back to the initial ethylene/TEA chain growth. A second closed loop starts with the same ethylene/TEA chain growth product followed by C4-14 olefin separation, C4-8 olefin displacement on the bottoms from C4-14 olefin separation, ethylene chain growth on the C4-8 olefin displacement product and recycle of this ethylene displacement product back to the olefin separation stage following the initial ethylene/TEA chain growth reaction.
