4. Influence of feedstock type on steam cracker performance
Please refer to the bibliographical references at
The feedstocks used in pyrolysis are quite varied, ranging from light saturated hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane or ethane-propane mixtures, to heavier or lighter petroleum cuts such as petrochemical naphtha and light or heavy gas oils. The United States, a country rich in natural gases combining ethane and propane with methane, still uses mostly light hydrocarbons for ethylene production; in Europe, on the other hand, steam crackers have traditionally been fuelled by petroleum cuts (cf. table B). ).
