Disclosed herein is a process for producing an alpha olefin comprising ob-taining a feed stream comprising an internal olefin having a first carbon number and an alpha olefin having a first carbon number, isomerizing the feed stream to increase the quantity of the alpha olefin, fractionating, subjecting the overhead material from frac-tionation to catalytic metathesis to produce a mixed olefin effluent comprising an internal olefin having a second carbon number and other hydrocarbons, fractionating, preparing the first isomerization reactor and fractiona-tor to receive the olefin having a second car-bon number, isomerizing the internal olefin intermediate in the prepared first isomeriza-tion reactor, and fractionating the second isomerization effluent in the prepared first fractionator to separate the alpha olefin hav-ing the second carbon number from the in-ternal olefin having the second carbon num-ber. A corresponding system also is dis-closed, along with a heat pump that can be incorporated into the process.
