Optimized Profits in Ethylene Production
The winning combination for profitable ethylene production is high-volume, low-cost operation and uninterrupted production runs.
Compressor performance is critical for achieving these goals. For over 50 years, Ebara Elliott Energy has been the world leader in centrifugal compressors for ethylene production. Our equipment is operating today in approximately half of the world's ethylene plants, including most of the largest facilities with capacity of one million tons per annum (MTPA) or greater. Our experience and achievements in ethylene compression include:
ENGINEERED FOR MEGA PLANTS
Ebara Elliott Energy stands apart in the design and manufacture of the large, reliable, efficient compressors and steam turbines required for the uninterrupted operation of today's mega ethylene plants. Refrigeration applications in ethylene production create extreme challenges in compressor design. As demand for production capacity grows, processing equipment and drivers must increase in size, throughput, and reliability. Ebara Elliott Energy custom engineers cracked gas, propylene, and ethylene compressor trains to meet these high-volume, high-efficiency requirements, and our skills in designing compressors for these demanding conditions ensures an accurate, fluid, dynamic design with high-efficiency performance, a broad operating range, and conservative mechanical characteristics.

Ethylene Producer in the Middle East
Diaphragm erosion could eventually cause weld failure, resulting in an unplanned shutdown of vital processes and a significant loss of production and revenue.
Pre-turnaround planning enabled Ebara Elliott Energy to complete a 12-day overhaul of the rotors, diaphragms, and seals of four non-EEE multi-stage turbines in only eight days.
Mega Ethylene Plants
If ethylene plants continue to just increase plant capacities and cracked gas compressor volume flows, expecting to increase compressor size to match, economies of scale will disappear.
Ebara Elliott Energy developed a three-part solution for increasing compressor flow capacity without increasing frame size.
