Abstract — The Ethylene production process is one of the most important aspects of a petrochemical plant. The bulk of the worldwide annual commercial production of Ethylene is based on thermal cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons with steam. This process is commonly called Steam cracking process. This article deals with Amir Kabir Petrochemical Olefin Furnaces that are located in special region o...

Introduction The heat-treating industry is in need of heat-treatment furnace materials and fixtures that have a long service life and reduced heat capacity. Many of the fixtures are consumed within 1 year of exposure in high temperature carburization atmospheres. Most of these fixtures are manufactured using heat resistant alloys. Iron-nickel based and iron-nickel-chromium based alloys are expe...

This paper presents the application of Differential Evolution (DE), an Evolutionary Computation method, for the optimization of Thermal Cracking operation. The objective in this problem is the estimation of optimal flow rates of different feeds to the cracking furnace under the restriction on ethylene and propylene production. Thousands of combinations of feeds are possible. Hence an efficient ...

Light olefins are the main building blocks used in petrochemical and chemical industries for production of different components such as polymers, synthetic fibers, rubbers, plastic materials. Currently, steam cracking hydrocarbons is technology light olefins. In cracking, pyrolysis feedstocks occurs furnace, where hydrocarbon feed first mixed preheated convection section then enter furnace radi...

Ethylene is the most produced organic substance in world and a pillar chemical process industry. The production pathway energy intensive has corresponding high carbon footprint. This work explores, simulates, presents possibility of reforming fuel gas steam cracking furnace. Currently, methane (CH4) hydrogen (H2) from furnace outlet makes up source. If H2 by reformation current can cover demand...

The research reported herein studied the permeability of concrete containing recycled-concrete aggregate (RA), superfine phosphorous slag (PHS), and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) with and without stress. Test results showed that the chloride diffusion coefficient of RA concrete (RAC) without external loads decreased with time, and the permeability of RAC is much lower than that of...
