A colorless, flammable gas, ethylene is the largest volume petrochemical in the world. Ethylene has a number of uses, including the production of plastics such as polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Chevron Phillips Chemical is a top ethylene manufacturer in North America. Ethylene is mainly produced through the steam cracking (steam pyrolysis) of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Feedstocks used for steam cracking range from ethane to naphtha and gas oils. Some ethylene is also produced as a byproduct of petroleum refining.
Industry:Energy
A.k.a DMT. An intermediate petrochemical derived from p-xylene. DMT is a traditional raw material for polyester resins but production facilities are being phased out in favor of more efficient terepthalic acid (TPA) plants.
Industry:Energy
A chemical reaction in which a single compound serves as both oxidizing and reducing agent, such as the dealkylation of toluene to give benzene (the more reduced product) and xylene (the more oxidized product).
Industry:Energy
A common manufacturing process for separation/purification in which a liquid is converted to a vapor and the vapor is then condensed to a liquid.
Industry:Energy
A manufacturing process in which low temperatures cause the feed stream to solidify in crystalline form . This is a means of purification through evaporation or centrification. Sometimes used in the production of p-xylene.
Industry:Energy
The degeneration of the chemical structure, physical properties, or appearance of a chemical substance such as a plastic due to exposure to light, heat, oxygen, or other reagents.
Industry:Energy
A commodity chemical derived from benzene and hydrogen. Used in the manufacture of nylons, primarily in carpeting and for engineering resin applications. Chevron Phillips Chemical is a top producer of cyclohexane in North America and the world.
