Abstract:

Based on cracking feedstock processing load, the 1,000 kt/a ethylene plant at PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical Company installs one more gas cracking furnace to further enhance the plant capacity and operational flexibility, so as to meet the goal of maximizing the processing of light feedstock and maintain the advanced economic indicators. After transformation, the plant can adapt to both heavy and light cracking feedstock.

Key words: ethylene plant, light feedstock, ethane cracking furnace, technical transformation
