Technip Energies said July 29 it has received a procurement contract from Chevron Phillips Chemical to supply of a low-emission cracking furnace in an existing olefins unit at Chevron’s facility in Sweeny, Texas.
This low-emission design will reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by approximately 30 %, according to Technip.
Technip Energies’ furnace design focuses on improving fuel efficiency using a novel heat recovery scheme, which includes combustion air preheat and a gas-to-gas primary feed effluent exchanger.
The low-emission furnace will be capable of using hydrogen as fuel, enabling immediate and future reductions to the existing unit’s carbon intensity, according to Technip.
