476448 Light Hydrocarbons Furnace Fuel Flexibility

Heidi Holmes and Dan Bowers, Dow Chemical, Plaquemine, LA

Large integrated manufacturing facilities utilize cogeneration for meeting thermal and electrical energy needs. Efficient use of by-product fuel plays a key role in optimizing site energy costs. Varying feed slates in light hydrocarbons plants necessitate new furnace fuel flexibility options to provide the best advantage for site heat rate. Working across business lines at Dow’s Louisiana Operations Division results in reduced fuel use, reduced carbon emissions and operating cost for all business partners on site.
