Steamcracker (I+II)
BASF Verbund Site Ludwigshafen

BASF SE
Cracker I was completed in 1965; cracker II followed in 1980 with about double the capacity. It has an area of around 64,000 m² making it the size of thirteen football pitches. Steamcrackers I and II mostly operate independently of each other, which means that when repair work is being carried out in one facility the other can continue operating as normal. The steamcrackers’ flare-stacks, which can be seen from very far away, are not normally in use. Only in the case that gases are produced that cannot be used for production i.e. in the case of a TÜV inspection, are these gases burned via the flare-stacks.
