“…A higher deviation on ethylene yield was observed when the model developed in this work was compared with the results from the literature, (Plehiers et al, 1990). In comparison with the industrial furnace, design data was considered and there was found a good agreement of global and ethylene conversion with the simulation results.…”

“…Modeling of steam cracking processes has been extensively discussed in the literature, (Sundaram and Froment,1977, Plehiers et al, 1990, Heynderickx and Froment, 1998and Sabbe et al, 2011. The study of coke formation mechanisms and its kinetics in steam cracking furnaces also has been explored in details, (Reyniers et al, 1994, Cai et al,2002, Towfighi et al, 2002.…”

-In petrochemical industries, steam cracking furnaces are used to process light hydrocarbons like naphta, ethane, propane and LPG in order to obtain olefins, like ethylene and propylene. Ethane steam cracking furnaces are of fundamental importance to improve the overall yields of an olefins production plant. In this context, a model for an industrial steam cracking furnace application was developed using the equation-oriented dynamic simulator EMSO. In the proposed model, a multi-section plug flow reactor was coupled with cracking kinetics from literature. The simulations results are in good agreement with published and industrial design data. The model also provides detailed information which can be used for optimal run length.

In this comprehensive discussion of the production of and uses for ethylene, the topics covered include the properties of ethylene; industrial production; storage, shipping, handling; and economics. Extensive coverage of the commercial production of ethylene via thermal cracking is provided. The reaction is discussed as well as the methods employed to predict the feedstock conversion. Product distributions are given for a variety of feedstocks. A description of the industrial furnaces available is given, as well as a typical process description and process flow diagram. Information is provided on coke deposition during the cracking process, giving the methods used to inhibit coke production and methods used to remove coke deposited. Recent improvements in the design of ethylene plants plus possible other routes to produce ethylene are presented.
