Olefin Production Technology

Olefin production technology refers to the methods used to create olefins, which are a group of important chemicals used to produce plastics, fabrics, and other materials. The most common olefins are ethylene and propylene. These are typically produced through processes like steam cracking, where hydrocarbons from natural gas or oil are heated to high temperatures, breaking them down into smaller molecules. Advanced techniques, such as metathesis and catalytic processes, enhance efficiency and yield. The resulting olefins serve as building blocks for various chemical products that are vital to many industries.
