The plant owners/operators need to know the capability of an ethylene plant to produce the ethylene product. To be clear, it’s typically not the design or nameplate capacity.

The plant capability is a key parameter for
  • Benchmarking the asset utilization
  • Understanding the plant operation and maintenance effectiveness
  • Determining the current plant bottleneck(s)

​A complete understanding of the plant capability helps in setting business strategies and plans. It typically results in better asset utilization.

This helps in determining the baseline for expansion/debottlenecking projects with a competitive and optimum technical scope.

We help clients in determining and reviewing the current plant capability for
  • Better asset utilization and improved economics
  • Setting up expansion/debottlenecking projects for arriving at competitive scope (resulting in lower installed cost)
