Lummus Launches Industry's First Net-Zero Emissions Ethane Cracker

Lummus Technology announced a major upgrade of its ethane cracker and achieved zero CO2 emissions from its ethylene

This is the first cracker in the ethylene industry to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions and is currently in commercial u.

"Ethylene producers are looking for solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of their investments, and this new net-zero ethane cracker will help them achieve their decarbonization goals," said Leon de Bruyn, President and CEO of Lummus Technolo.

Combustion of methane or other carbon-based fuels can be eliminated through innovations in cracking heater design, resulting in a significant reduction in fuel combustion requirements, an enhancement of the recovery section, and a partial switchover of the primary compressor from a steam turbine to an electric dri.

Lummus Technology is a world-recognized leader in ethylene production technology, with approximately 40% of the world's licensed capacity, enabling the company to further develop and promote green ethylene technology through its technical capabilities and technology licensing experti.
