- Description
- To make ethylene, ethane feedstock is heated to almost 900oC to 'crack' it to ethylene in the steam cracking furnaces. The gas stream is then cooled to below -150oC to recover the valuable ethylene product. By-product gases from processing are used as fuel in the plant's furnaces and gas turbine. The unit produces electricity in a highly energy efficient way. The ethylene plant and offices are now virtually self-sufficient in energy.
