Abstract
Recent technological developments have led to the creation of the rigorous simulation models for ethylene plants which can be run in concert with advanced, thermodynamic “pinch” procedures. This new approach enables operators to determine the potential for improvement- in true global terms- and provides an economically sound strategy for working towards the identified target.
