Abstract:

Through the analysis on the material balance, steam/water balance and environmental pollution data in the No.2 Workshop of the Ethylene Plant in Dushanzi, it is concluded that the causes of high material consumption, high energy consumption and high pollution of ethylene plant include the high temperature emission of flue gas from cracking furnace, the coking gas from coke oven, the discharge of breathing valves in doom roof tank area, and the discharge of water system, oil system and caustic system. Corresponding measures are taken to prevent and reduce the production of pollutants.

Key words: energy consumption, energy saving and emission reduction, optimization
