As the demand for ethylene has risen, so has the need for specialized valve solutions. The steam cracking process requires valves to operate flawlessly in temperatures up to 750-850º C/1380-1560º F in furnaces. Propane dehydrogenation calls for valves to optimize the process while reducing fugitive emission. Now, more than ever, the industry needs repeatable, reliable and accurate valve performance. Here are 5 keys to avoiding ethylene valve failures while ensuring longer, trouble-free process performance that saves millions of dollars by eliminating unscheduled shutdowns.
