Pyrolysis
Tackle operational challenges with FCC coprocessing applications
Refiners are actively developing new solutions to decarbonize their finished products—such as transportation fuels or commodity chemicals—as part of the energy transition. As a result, refiners are now exploring the co-feeding of alternative feedstocks, including renewable and recyclable crude oils, as a means of lowering the carbon footprint of their products.
Sustainability and the Energy Transition: The pyrolysis of plastic wastes: A techno-economic analysis
Plastics are some of the most vastly used materials in modern life. They are the building block of products manufactured by almost every sector, including packaging, building and construction, textiles, consumer products, transportation, electrical and electronics, and industrial machinery.
INEOS Inovyn launches next-generation recycling pilot plants to strengthen Europe’s PVC recycling
INEOS Inovyn launches two new PVC pilot plants at our Jemeppe-sur-Sambre site in Belgium, to accelerate technologies for recycling PVC which are not mechanically recyclable today.
GCC industry leaders solidify commitment toward plastic circularity
Arabian Gulf industry leaders reaffirmed their commitment to adopting a collaborative approach to develop plastic circularity, invest in Design for Recycling (DfR) and address plastic waste at the 13th annual Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Plastics Conference.
Clariant introduces new solutions to reduce the environmental impact of plastics
Clariant is launching AddWorks PPA, a perfluoralkyl substances-free polymer processing aid product line, and AddWorks PKG 158, a highly efficient antioxidant solution with outstanding color protection, especially designed for polyolefins containing recycled material
Neste successfully concludes its first processing run with pyrolysis oil from discarded tires
In its efforts to advance chemical recycling, Neste has successfully conducted its first processing trial run with a new challenging raw material, liquefied discarded tires.
Sustainable H2 production through methane pyrolysis
The methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) pyrolysis process [also known as CH<sub>4</sub> cracking or turquoise hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) production] is a thermal (high-temperature) breakdown of CH<sub>4</sub> into H<sub>2</sub> gas and solid carbon.
Capture the full value of waste plastic pyrolysis oil through innovations in hydrocarbon analysis
Today, the world produces twice as much plastic waste as it did two decades ago, with the majority ending up in landfills, being incinerated or leaking into the environment.
