Ethylen is the largest volume industrially produced organic material and its

majority is used in the production of

polymers and derivatives. Between a
variety of processes the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons in the presence of
steam (steam cracker) is mostly used.
Regardless of the process type, all
plants require process analytical
equipment to collect reliable and
accurate process data for process control, product quality, and plant safety.

Siemens, a leader in process analytical instrumentation, has proven over

decades its capability to plan, engineer, manufacture, implement and
service analyzer systems for use in
ethylen plants worldwide.
This Case Study provides an overview
of the steam cracking process and
describes how Siemens, with its outstanding analyzer technology, application know-how and system integration expertise can provide remarkable
user benefits.

Ethylene
Ethylene is the largest volume
industrially produced organic material. Current worldwide production
is about 95 Mio. t/year and is projected to increase for the foreseeable future. A typical modern plant
produces in excess of 800000 t/year.
Feedstock to ethylene plants ranges
from light Ethane/Propane mix to
heavy naphta and vacuum gas oils.
Most plants are designed with raw
material flexibility in mind. Majority
of ethylene produced is used in the
production of polymers and ethylene derivatives such as ethylene
oxide and glycol. A typical ethylene
plant also makes a number of other
important chemicals such as propylene, butadiene and pyrolysis gasoline.
In the past years, Ethylene plants
have evolved into highly integrated,
highly flexible processing systems
that can profitably adjust to changing raw material availability and
market demands for Olefins products. Advanced process control
technologies are used in Olefins
plants and have greatly improved
products qualiy, plant efficiency and
resulted in quick payback of the
investment.
Typical process features of an ethylene process are short residence time
in the furnace, high selectivity, feedstock flexibility, operational reliability and safety, easy start-up, and
energy efficiency.
Process analytics is a key issue for
process control by online monitoring the various process streams in
ethylene and propylene production.
Process analytics maximizes yields
and ensures product quality specifications.

Ethylene production overview

Ethylene
Ethylene, H2C=CH2, is the lightest olefin. It is a colorless, flammable gas,
which is produced mainly from petroleum-based feedstocks by thermal
cracking in the presence of steam.
Ethylene has almost no direct enduses
but acts almost exclusively as an intermediate in the manufacture of other
chemicals, especially plastics.
Ethylene may be polymerized directly to
produce polyethylene, the world's most
widely used plastic. Ethylene can also
be chlorinated to produce 1,2-dichloroethane, a precursor to the plastic polyvinyl chloride, or combined with benzene
to produce ethylbenzene, which is used
in the manufacture of polystyrene,
another important plastic. Smaller
amounts of ethylene are oxidized to
produce chemicals including ethylene
oxide, ethanol, and polyvinyl acetate.
Ethylen quality depends on users
requirements in downstream processes.
No single chemicalgrade ethylen exists,
but ethylene content normally exceeds
99,7%. Sulfur, oxygen, acetylene,
hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are the most troublesome
impurities that must be controlled carefully.

Raw materials
Various feedstocks (liquid and gaseous)
are used for the production of ethylen.
The principal feedstocks are naphtas, a
mixture of hydrocarbons in the boiling
range of 30 to 200 C. Depending on the
origin, naphta composition and quality
can vary over a wide range requiring
quality control of the feed mixtures.
Preferably in the US and the middle east
light feedstocks (natural gas, ethane,
propane, butan) are used. Gas oils
(crude oil fractions) are also gaining
importance as feedstocks in some areas
of the world.
Chemical analysis of the feedstock is
important to ensure the required product specification and even more when
the production is based on varying feedstocks.
Production
The bulk of the worldwide production is
based on thermal cracking with steam.
The process is called pyrolysis or steam
cracking. Production can be split into
four sections (Fig. 1): The first three sections are more or less identical for all
commercial processes, with the exception that primary fractionation is
required only in case of a liquid feestock.

Fig. 1: Ethylene production (overview)

A large variety of process routes, however, exist for the hydrocarbon fractionation section.
A hydrocarbon feed stream is preheated, mixed with steam and further
heated to 500 to 700 C. The stream
enters a fired tubular reactor (known as
cracker, cracking heater), where under
controlled conditions the feedstock is
cracked at 800 to 850 C into smaller
molecules within a residence time of
0.1 to 0.5 s. After leaving the radiant
coils of the furnace the product mixtures are cooled down instantaneously
in transfer line exchangers (TLE) to preserve the gas composition. This quenching time is a crucial measure for severity
control of the final products.
The steam dilution lowers the hydrocarbon pressure, thereby enhancing the
olefin yield and reducing the tendency
to form and deposit coke in the tubes of
the furnace and coolers. For details of
the process steps see Fig. 2 to 5.
Cracking furnaces (capacity of modern
units up to 150 000 t/year) represent
the largest energy consumer in an ethylene plant. Cracking furnace technologies are offered by engineering companies such as ABB Lummus, KTI-Technip,
Linde AG (Pyrocrack), M.W. Kellog,
Stone & Webster, e.a.
Other processes for ethylene production besides conventional thermal
cracking include
Recovery from Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FFC) offgas
Fluidized-bed cracking
Catalytic pyrolysis
Membrane reactor
e.a.

 Siemens AG 2007

Ethylene production

Feed Cracking
Pyrolysis furnace
The hydrocarbon molecules of the feedstock are cracked in the furnace (Fig. 2)
in the presence of a catalyst at high
temperatures. Typically more than ten
furnaces are used in a single ethylene
plant. Most feedstocks are naphta or a
mixture of ethane and methane. The
feed is mixed (diluted) with steam to
minimize the side reaction of forming
coke and to improve selectivity to produce the desired olefines by lowering
hydrocarbon partial pressure. Cracking
is an endothermic reaction with heat
supplied by side-wall or floor burners or
a combination of both, which use gaseous and/or liquid fuels.
The fundamental parameters of cracking furnaces are temperature and temperature profile, residence time of the
gas during cracking, and partial pressure.
Tranfer Line Exchanger
The reaction mixture exiting the radiant
coil of the furnace contains a large spectrum of hydrocarbons. It is instantaneously cooled in quench coolers called
transfer line exchangers (Fig. 2) to preserve the gas composition. Valuable
high pressure steam is generated from
the cracked gas during this process.

Cracked Gas Processing

Further processing of cracked gas, i.e.
separation into the desired products or
fractions, can be performed in many different sequences that depend on the
feedstock type and the number and
specification of the plant products.
Many options are available with different plant designs for cracked gas
derived from gaseous or liquid feestocks. For example: With pure ethane
as feedstock, the amount of C3 and
heavier byproducts is small and their
recovery is not economically feasible, or
a significant content of propane in the
feedstock makes a depropanizer necessary and butane feeds requires oil and
gasoline removal from the cracked gas.
Therefore, plants will differ from each
other and the following flow diagrams
of show only exemplary solutions!

Gasoline Fractionator
Heavy fuel oils cuts are separated from
the bulk of the effluent stream in the
gasoline fractionator (Fig. 3) by direct
contact with circulating pyrolysis oil.
Function is to make a sharp separation
between the heavy oil fraction from the
gasoline and lighter fractions .
The gasoline fractionator is only used in
case of a liquid feedstock (naphta).
Quench tower
Further cooling is performed in the
quench tower (Fig. 3) by circulating
water streams to minimize any further
cracking. The quench tower operates as
a partial condenser for the fractionator,
condensing practically all of the steam
and most of the pyrolysis gasoline components. In some designs, the gasoline
fractionator and the quench tower are
combined into one single structure.
Compression train
The gas from the quench tower is then
compressed in a 4 or 5 stage compressor train (Fig. 4) to an optimum pressure for separating it into various components. Water and hydrocarbons are
separated between stages and recycled.
Acid gases (CO2 and H2S) are removed
after the 3rd or 4th compression stage
by scrubbing them with a dilute causic
soda solution. In case of higher sulfur
content a separate gas removal system
is used.

Refrigeration train
The pyrolysis gas is then partially condensed over the stages of a refrigeration system to about -165 C, where
only the hydrogen remains in the vapor
stage. The stage condensates are fed to
the demethanizer while hydrogen is
withdrawn from the lowest temperature separator.
Demethanizer
The DeMethanizer is designed for complete separation of methane from ethylene and heavier components. The
DeMethanizer overhead consists of
methane with some impurities of
hydrogen, CO and traces of ethylene.
The DeMethanizer bottoms, consisting
of ethylene and heavier components,
are sent to the DeEthanizer.

Deethanizer
The DeEthanizer produces C2 hydrocarbons as overhead (acetylene, ethane
and ethylene) and C3 and heavier
hydrocarbons as bottoms.

 Siemens AG 2007

Acetylene hydrogenation
The DeEthanizer overhead is heated and
hydrogen is added to convert acetylene
to ethylene and ethane (hyrogenation).
The effluent contains less than 1 ppm of
acetylene, and traces of methane and
hydrogen.
Ethylene fractionator
(C2 splitter)
After acethylene removal, the dried gas
enters an ethylene-ethane separator
(ethylene fractionator or C2 splitter).
Ethylene product is gained here while
ethane being recycled.
DePropanizer
The condensate stripper and the DeEthanizer bottoms are both processed in
the DePropanizer for a sharp separation
of C3 hydrocarbons as overheads and
C4+ as bottoms.

Process analyzer application

Process optimization
Process optimization is critical for ethylene production because cracking reactions change as the run proceeds. Operation costs are high and , therefore,
process control including online analyzers providing almost realtime process
information has reached a very high
level of importance. Models for different kinds of feedstocks have been
developped to optimize production of
certain amounts of ethylen, propylene
and other products at maximum profit
even with changing of feedstock quality
or type.

Process analyzer tasks

Process analytical equipment is an indispensable part of any ethylene plant
because it provides the operator and
the control system with key data from
the process and its environment.
Four major applications
Analyzer applications can be divided in
four groups depending on how and
where the analyzer data are used:
Closed-loop control for process
and product optimization
This application helps to increase
yield, reduce energy consumption,
achieve smooth operation, and keep
product quality accoding to the specification
Quality control and documentation
for ISO compliance
Plant monitoring and alarms
This application protects personnel
and plant from possible hazard from
toxic or explosive substances
Environmental control
This application helps to keep air and
water emission levels in compliance
with official regulations.

Analyzers and sampling points

More than 100 analyzers of different
type are used in an ethylene plant ranging from simple sensor type monitors to
high technology process gas chromatographs.
The list typically includes
Process gas chromatographs
Continuous gas analyzers
(paramagnetic oxygen analyzers,
NDIR analyzers, total hydrocarbon
content analyzers)
Analyzers for moisture and O2 traces
Low Explosion Level (LEL) analyzers
Liquid analyzers for pH, conductivity,
etc.
Analyzer installations
Analyzers are installed partially in the
field close to the sampling location
and/or in an analyzer house (shelter).
In modern plants most of the analyzers
are interfaced to a plant wide data communication system for direct data transfer from and to the analyzers.
The total number of analyzers installed
in a plant varies from plant to plant
depending on the type of process, individual plant conditions and user
requirements.

Safety and environmental

impacts
Ethylene plants require special measures for protection of personnel and
the environment. Despite of national
regulations, the following measures are
considered as standard worldwide for
any plant:
Flue gas emission control
NOx emissions are limited by use of
LowNOx burners and/or integrated
SCR technology for catalytic reduction. NOx limits are, in some regions,
down to < 50 ppm.
Particulate emission during the
decoking process is reduced by either
incineration or appropriate filter technology.
Fugitive emissions and VOC control

Explosion protection

Areas where inflammable substances

in sufficient quantity can get in contact to oxygen (air) become a hazardous area. In this case, measures are
necessary to exclude the danger of
ignition.
Water protection
Liquid emission of the plant mainly
results from quench water, dilution
steam, caustic-stripping (acid gas
removal) liquid and decoking water.
These streams are treated properly
before beeing fed to the wastewater
plant.
Waste disposal
An ethylene plant produces a variety
of waste materials that have to be
treated according to the relevant regulations for disposal.

LEL Analyzers
Mixtures of combustible substances and
air or oxygen are explosive in certain
concentration ranges. For each concentration mixture, low (LEL) and high
(HEL) explosion limits are specified that
depend on the temperature and pressure of the gas. Special gas detectors
are used to monitor substances such as
hydrogen, ethylene, propylene, CO and
O2 to prevent the atmosphere inside or
outside the analyzer house from reaching the LEL.
Gas detectors are typically part of the
safeguarding system of the analyzer
house to minimize the exposure of personnel to flammable or toxic hazads.

Associated operations
A number of associated plant units and
processes with the need of using process analyzers are required to run an
ethylene plant, including e.g.
Furnace decoking
Flue gas emission control
Flue gas cleaning
Air separation
Waste water treatment
Waste incineration
Explosion warning

FEED for Process Analytics
Front End Engineering and Design
(FEED) is part of the planning and engineering phase of a plant construction or
modification project and is done after
conceptual business planning and prior
to detail design. During the FEED phase,
best opportunities exist for costs and
time savings for the project, as during
this phase most of the entire costs are
defined and changes have least impact
to the project. Siemens Process Analytics holds a unique blend of expertise in
analytical technologies, applications
and in providing complete analytical
solutions to many industries.
