What does this programme cover?

Steam cracking and ethylene plant performance slips when feed slates change faster than furnace severity targets, coke builds up between decokes and the recovery section runs short of compression or refrigeration margin. Olefin yield losses then pass straight to the polymer and intermediate units downstream. This Core Concept course follows the olefins value chain from ethane, propane and naphtha feeds through cracking furnaces, quench, compression, cryogenic separation and product splitters, then on to on-purpose propylene, derivatives and cracker economics. Each participant builds a Cracker Optimisation and Feedstock Selection Plan.
