Technip Energies (PARIS) has been awarded an Engineering and Procurement contract by Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) for the supply of a proprietary Low Emission Cracking Furnace in an existing olefins unit at its facility in Sweeny, Texas. This low-emission design is cost-effective and will reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by approximately 30%.

Technip Energies’ patented design of the Low Emission Cracking Furnace focuses on improving fuel efficiency using a novel heat recovery scheme, which includes combustion air preheat and a first-of-its-kind gas-to-gas primary feed effluent exchanger. The project also electrifies a major compressor driver, and because the low emission furnace will be capable of using hydrogen as fuel, the project enables immediate and future reductions to the existing unit’s carbon intensity.
Bhaskar Patel, SVP Sustainable Fuels, Chemicals & Circularity at Technip Energies, commented: “In our focus on net zero solutions, we are making great strides in reducing emissions in ethylene production. The first and immediate step to reduce carbon emissions is to leverage efficiencies in the process or design. We are pleased that Chevron Phillips Chemical has selected Technip Energies’ proprietary low-emission cracking furnace for this project at its Sweeny complex.”
Venki Chandrashekar, vice president, Research & Technology at CPChem added: “Our company is focused on initiatives and projects that are cost effective and have a significant impact on lowering the intensity of emissions generated by the production of the basic chemicals that society needs. We are pleased to work with Technip Energies to implement the proprietary Low-CO₂ Emissions Cracking Furnace and progress toward our goal to reduce carbon intensity.”
