Achieve 10% Energy Savings in Ethylene Compression Operations

How an Asian ethylene producer modernized compressor control systems and improved efficiency across three critical units 

As part of an ethylene plant expansion, an Asian producer sought to improve efficiency and automation across three critical compressors while operating within tight budget constraints. Legacy control systems were contributing to hidden energy losses, with antisurge valves partially open during normal operation and key loops requiring manual intervention.

By implementing CCC’s Prodigy® Duplex systems, the plant modernized antisurge, performance, and turbine control across cracked gas, propylene refrigerant, and ethylene refrigerant compressors. The result was improved operational stability, higher levels of automation, and an estimated 10% reduction in energy consumption, delivering significant annual cost savings.
