Light Ends Treatment

Light Ends Treatment

Situation A European producer of ethylene was experiencing short run lengths in their light ends section and high costs associated with their inhibitor system. Approach The most common problem in ethylene monomer purification is the polymerization of unsaturated species through a free radical mechanism, due to the high temperatures used during processing. Also oxygen-initiated peroxides lead to fouling. The SiYPro TM approach was to eliminate
