Ethylene (Hot & Cold Section)
Koch-Glitsch provides innovative solutions for ethylene production, ensuring optimal separation and reliability in both hot and cold section operations for petrochemical applications.
Reliable Ethylene Separation Solutions
Ethylene production requires precise separation processes across multiple stages, including cracking, cooling, and fractionation. Koch-Glitsch provides advanced technologies to optimize performance in both the hot section (furnace effluent handling and primary fractionation) and cold section (cryogenic separation and recovery).
Key Offerings
- Trays: High-capacity trays for the C2 Splitter (Cold Section) that have demonstrated capability to achieve 95%+ tray efficiencies, achieving superior separation performance while minimizing reflux and energy consumption.
- Structured & Grid Packing: High-performance packing solutions for the quench column (hot section) that minimize pressure drop and maximize heat recovery while offering a fouling-resistant design, extending the run length.
- Mist Eliminators: Capture entrained hydrocarbons and minimize product losses.
Benefits for Ethylene Producers
- Increased operational efficiency and reduced energy consumption
- Enhanced product recovery and separation precision
- Reliable performance for long-term operational stability
- Lower maintenance costs
Koch-Glitsch’s proven solutions enable ethylene producers to achieve peak performance, combining technology with a commitment to efficiency and sustainability.
