CP Chemical will opt for low-emission cracking furnaces. According to Sinochem News, DeXinibu Energy recently stated that it has signed a contract with Chevron Phillips Chemical (CP Chemical) to supply a set of low-emission cracking furnaces for the existing olefin plants at CP Chemical’s facility in Sweeny, Texas. Dehiniub said that the new low-emission pyrolysis furnace will reduce the fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of pyrolysis furnaces by about 30%. This is also the first time that its patented low-emission pyrolysis furnace technology has been implemented on a full scale. The patented design of this pyrolyzer improves fuel efficiency by utilizing a unique heat recovery system. The project will also power a main compressor drive, and since low-emission furnaces will be able to use hydrogen as fuel, it will enable a significant reduction in the carbon intensity of existing installations. CP Chemical has not disclosed which of Sweeny’s three pyrolysis units will be upgraded.
