Integrated model guided process optimization of steam cracking furnaces Ghent University
The objective of the project IMPROOF is to drastically improve the energy efficiency of steam cracking furnaces by at least 20% in a cost effective way, while simultaneously reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses and NOx per ton ethylene produced by at least 25%. One important way to reduce the energy input in steam cracking furnaces is to reduce coke formation on the reactor wall. The use of eather advanced coil materials, combined with 3D ...
