OLEFINS
Olefins is an organic chemical compound comprised of hydrocarbons, especially Ethylene and Propylene. Made from Ethane, Propane, Naphtha and Gasoline that are composed in natural gas and crude oil.
Olefins products obtained from GC’s olefins plants consist of ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and butene-1. Thanks to their feedstock flexibility, GC’s Olefins plants can make use of ethane, Propane LPG, and NGL, all of which are natural gas products, as well as LPG and light naphtha from refineries and aromatics plants. GC has five Olefins plants with a nameplate capacity of 3,829 thousand tons per year.
GC’s Olefins plants have the capacity to provide by-product including pyrolysis gasoline, which is used to produce Aromatics, as well as Mixed C4, Tail Gas, Cracker Bottom and Hydrogen. The synergy of our refining facility and Aromatics plants adds to the value of these by products. Moreover, Mixed C4 by-product yields can be higher value by delivering Butadiene and Butene-1 solutions.
