Reduce coke formation and save operating costs with optimization of DMDS into ethane cracking furnaces

摘要

Steam cracking furnaces produce olefins, which are high-value feeds in the petrochemical industry. Coke formation is an unavoidable part of a thermal cracking furnace. The amount of coke created depends on feed quality, operating conditions and the metal surface of the coil. Coke can be generated through different mechanisms, but the most important are catalytic and asymptotic, or pyrolytic, mechanisms.
