Petrochemical Technologies

Linde is one of the world’s few technology contractors to cover the full T-EPC project spectrum for ethylene plants, and has already successfully delivered over 60 plants.

Positioned at the heart of ethylene plants, Linde’s steam cracking furnaces play a crucial role in the manufacture of many base products while also defining the yield, efficiency and profitability of olefin plants.

Electrification project for steam cracking furnaces has the potential to cut CO₂ emissions by 95% or even more.

Linde’s EDHOX™ catalytic on-purpose technology builds on the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to create an innovative, low-emissions path to ethylene and acetic acid.
