Project
Fouling in the convection section tubes of a steam cracker
The use of heavier hydrocarbons in the chemical industry results in cokes formation in the tubes of the steam cracker convection section. To avoid or reduce this problem geometrical changes and/or changing operating conditions will be required. A complete modeling of the convection section of a steam cracker can result in such solutions.
