Course Description

The heart of an ethylene plant is the cracking furnaces. They are complex equipment and represent the largest individual investment made in an ethylene plant.  The operation of the heaters greatly impacts the economic performance of the plant, so the incentive for maintaining cracking heaters in optimal operating and mechanical condition is significant.  They also require significant operator attention and maintenance. It is essential to have a well-running furnace section to ensure smooth and profitable operations at the plant and site. Frequently shutting down furnaces for decoking or maintenance costs money, disrupts downstream sections and prevents the plant from meeting its production targets. Operation of the ethylene cracking furnaces system is the main engineering direction to improve the economic performance, and to meet technical and environmental requirements. 

This 5 day course develops a multi objective operational paradigm for an industrial cracking furnace system that describes the operation of each furnace based on current feedstock allocations, and uses this model to optimize two important and conflicting objectives: maximization of key products yield and minimization of the fuel consumed per unit ethylene.
