Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) has been awarded an Engineering and Procurement contract by Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) to provide a proprietary Low Emission Cracking Furnace for use in an existing olefins unit at their Sweeny, Texas facility. This innovative low-emission design is cost-effective and will cut fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by about 30%.

Technip Energies’ patented Low Emission Cracking Furnace design enhances fuel efficiency through an innovative heat recovery system, which features preheating of combustion air and a pioneering gas-to-gas primary feed effluent exchanger. The project also includes the electrification of a major compressor driver. Additionally, the low-emission furnace's capability to use hydrogen as fuel allows for both immediate and future reductions in the carbon intensity of the existing unit.

Bhaskar Patel, SVP of Sustainable Fuels, Chemicals & Circularity at Technip Energies, stated: "As we advance towards net-zero solutions, we are making significant progress in cutting emissions in ethylene production. The initial and crucial step in reducing carbon emissions involves optimizing process efficiency and design. We are excited that Chevron Phillips Chemical has chosen Technip Energies’ proprietary low-emission cracking furnace for this project at their Sweeny complex."

Venki Chandrashekar, Vice President of Research & Technology at CPChem, remarked: “Our company is dedicated to cost-effective initiatives and projects that significantly reduce the emissions associated with producing essential chemicals. We are excited to collaborate with Technip Energies to deploy the proprietary Low-CO2 Emissions Cracking Furnace and advance our objective of lowering carbon intensity.”
