A new approach to the design of ethylene plants has resulted in the elimination of up to 23% of the equipment in an ethylene plant, a 15% reduction of investment, a 12% reduction in energy and ...

Here are the unique design and manufacturing considerations for equipment in ethane crackers with more than 1 million tonnes/year of ethylene production.

An established leader in ethylene technology, Shaw has provided technology, design, engineering and/or construction for 120 grassroots plants worldwide.

Shaw Energy & Chemicals Ltd. will design an ethylene plant, known as a cracker, capable of producing 1.5 million metric tons of the gaseous chemical a year.

The new plant will have a capacity of 1.55 million tons of ethylene per year. Construction will start immediately, with design and procurement of key equipment already under way, according to Bechtel.

In addition to the project’s process design package, Technip will supply a suite of ethylene technology, equipment, and technical services for the plant’s gas cracker, which will have an ...

Ethylene oxide has been used since 1938 in a wide variety of products, including shampoo, detergents, plastics and antifreeze, but it wasn’t until the agency changed its standard in 2016 that ...

Ethylene is an essential plant hormone at low concentrations. Concentrations in the field rarely exceed 5 nmol⋅mol−1 (0.005 ppm), but it can accumulate as a gas in closed, indoor environments.
