For the first time in 28-year history of the plant 450,133 t of ethylene were produced at the ethylene plant of “Nizhnekamskneftekhim” INC according to the results of the year 2004.
The highest production became possible thanks to reconstruction and modernization of the equipment and steady trouble-free working of the stuff.
We’d like to remind you that ethylene cracker EP-450 was originally designed for use as feedstock for straight-run gasoline. Reconstruction and replacement of obsolescent and physically worn straight-run gasoline heaters by new high-capacity and high-selective ones allowed to process any kind of feedstock in them – from straight-run gasoline to wide fraction of light hydrocarbons.
At present modernization of ethylene cracker is being continued in order to increase the capacity of ethylene to 600 t/y. The program is to be carried out until the year 2010.
