Technip engineers grassroots ethylene facilities including mega-crackers and plant expansions. Using the latest, most-effective proprietary technologies, the Group provides solutions at optimized cost.
|
| |
|
| Recent activities include: |
|
|
2 large grassroots plants (over one million tons per year each) started in Q3 2007 and Q1 2008 |
|
|
4 grassroots plants under design and construction in 2008 |
|
|
The world's 2 largest mega-crackers in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, with a capacity of 1.3 million tons per year each |
|
|
8 large capacity furnaces in Thailand |

Proprietary furnace technologies
|
|
|
GK6 coil technology for liquid feed, is applied in new furnaces and for the modernization of existing furnaces. This technology allows the furnace to operate on a range of feedstocks from naphta to heavy oils, with high selectivity and long on-stream time. Technip's GK6 technology has been applied in 66 furnaces in the last seven years, delivering a production capacity of 5.4 Mtpa. |
|
|
SMK coil technology for gas feed, is applied in new, large capacity furnaces. In the last 10 years, Technip's SMK technology has been installed in 88 furnaces, delivering a capacity of 12.6 Mtpa or 10% of today's ethylene production capacity. |
|
|
Ultrafur, new furnace technology for units up to 400,000 tons per year. |
|
|
SPYRO® furnace design and optimization software, used by 80% of ethylene producers worldwide. This is a model for steam-cracking yield prediction of either gas or liquid feedstock. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Proprietary separation technologies
The separation sections downstream from the cracking furnaces are based on the progressive separation technology developed by Technip, which allows energy consumption to be minimized thereby lowering CO2 emissions. This technology is applied in all types of separation sequences mentioned below:
|
|
|
Front-end hydrogenation coupled with either front-end deethanizer or front-end depropanizer is available for gas or liquid crackers. The plant under construction in Kuwait is based on this technology. |
|
|
Back-end hydrogenation coupled with front-end demethanizer is applied for either gas or liquid crackers. The technology is applied in the plants under construction in Qatar and in Saudi Arabia. |
|
|
A new technology, T-Par (Technip-Progressive Acetylene Removal) has been developed by Technip combining the advantages of both front-end and back-end hydrogenation. |
With all of these technologies in its portfolio, Technip can provide the best adapted solution for each case. |
