Essential Expertise for Furnaces

In the late 90’s, Nalco developed a third generation, best-in-class furnace antifoulant for the ethylene industry. Optimization of the cracking furnaces in the ethylene plant remains a top priority for ethylene producers not only for production efficiency and throughput but for energy conservation. Nalco’s COKE-LESS® program has reduced condensation coking in furnace tubes and extended runlengths by 50% and beyond. Over the years, Nalco has developed specific furnace system survey strategies to determine the expected impact of a COKE-LESS program on each furnace in an ethylene plant.
