Petrochemicals
Improve benzene production from refinery sources
A new cracking route reduces cost of benzene while coproducing ethylene
Mitigate coke formation
A new anticoke technology sustains a noncatalytic layer on cracking tubes that reduces coking
Consider divided-wall technology for butadiene extraction
Using this process can improve energy consumption and costs
Optimize distillation operations with ejectors
This heat-pump system can reduce energy consumption for various product separations
Improve your hydrogen potential
Retrofitting an existing plant can provide a cost-effective way to meet incremental demand for hydrogen
Consider over-the-fence product stream swapping to raise profitability
By exchanging process streams, neighboring HPI facilities can increase yields without new unit construction
