摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for performing ethane steam cracking at elevated coil inlet pressures and/or elevated coil outlet pressures in small diameter furnace coils. Instead of performing steam cracking of ethane at a coil outlet pressure of ˜22 psig or less (˜150 kPa-g or less), the steam cracking of ethane can be performed in small diameter furnace coils at a coil outlet pressure of 30 psig to 75 psig (˜200 kPa-g to ˜520 kPa-g), or 40 psig to 75 psig (˜270 kPa-g to ˜520 kPa-g). In order to achieve such higher coil outlet pressures, a correspondingly higher coil inlet pressure can also be used, such as a pressure of 45 psig (˜310 kPa-g) or more, or 50 psig (˜340 kPa-g) or more.

摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for performing a partial trip for an ethane steam cracker while reducing or minimizing ethane consumption in a ground flare system during the partial trip. In particular, a trip system is provided that reduces the firing on an ethylene furnace (such as a reduction into a range of 10% to 40% of normal firing) while also providing a reduced flow of feed to the furnace with dilution steam at a steam to hydrocarbon ratio similar to a ratio that is suitable during normal operation. The trip system can be actuated, for example, when the loss of circulating quench water to the water quench tower is detected.

摘要:
A process for removing contaminants from an off-gas stream generated by the methylation of toluene and/or benzene by methanol to produce para-xylene. The treated off-gas stream, which contains C4− hydrocarbons, may be further processed in an olefins plant/process to yield valuable light alkanes and olefins.
摘要:
The invention relates to the compression of a pyrolysis product to facilitate light olefin separation. The pyrolysis product is produced in a pyrolysis reaction. A power generator produces a first shaft power and a second shaft power. The pyrolysis product is compressed using at least part of the first shaft power and at least part of the second shaft power.
