We are one of Ethane gas suppliers, here we will share some technology about Ethylene.
What makes ethylene unique is a part of the molecule called a double bond. That area is very reactive and particularly well-suited for many different chemical reactions, which makes ethylene one of the most important chemicals in all chemistry.
The natural gas liquid (NGL) – ethane gas – is like many hydrocarbons, isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical byproduct of petroleum refining. Its primary use is as a feedstock for the production of ethylene. An ethylene plant is sometimes called an olefin plant because of the fact that the end products are olefins.
The process to turn ethane into ethylene begins with what is called “cracking,” a high-tech engineering process that heats (up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit) the feedstock (in this case – ethane) to the point that it “cracks” the molecule into several smaller molecules. That's why some olefins plants are referred to as “crackers.” This diagram from AFPM shows you the process whereby NGLs ultimately become everyday products with the help of a cracker.
We are specialty gases manufacturer in China, we provide Ethylene gas.
