Steam Cracking
AI-POWERED PROCESS CONTROL

Preventing inefficiencies and disruptions in steam cracking

Steam cracking is a key petrochemical process that breaks down saturated hydrocarbons into smaller, often unsaturated ones, producing important alkenes like ethylene and propylene. Operating these furnaces is highly complex due to the nonlinear nature of the process and the thousands of parameters involved. Frequent disruptions and inefficiencies significantly affect quality and reduce yield.

Problem

Steam cracking is a critical petrochemical process that breaks down saturated hydrocarbons into smaller, often unsaturated hydrocarbons. It serves as the primary industrial method for producing lighter alkenes, such as ethene (ethylene) and propene (propylene).

Operating steam cracking furnaces is known to be most complex, the cracking process is a highly complex, nonlinear process with thousands of process parameters, struggling with chronical diseases like disruptions and inefficiencies significantly jeopardizing quality, damaging performance and lowering yield.
