Petrochemicals, Ethane, & Ethylene: Partners in the Plastic Parade

Petrochemicals, Ethane, & Ethylene: Partners in the Plastic Parade Ethane is extracted from Natural Gas, comprising from 1-6% of its volume. The majority of the remainder is methane. Ethane is also...

Ethylene must be Pure and Dry

Ethylene must be Pure and Dry Ethylene must be pure and dry… but ironically, unsaturating olefin/paraffin molecules, is a watery, steamy business! Unfortunately, massive petrochemical molecules don’t just conveniently fall apart...

Cracking Fossil Fuels: The Role of Molecular Sieves

Separating (cracking) useful olefins or alkynes from paraffins is the key to profitability in this industry; however, it is constrained by the immense costs. The single most produced organic chemical worldwide...

Fracking Gas: The Role of Molecular Sieves

For humans, dehydration is a very bad thing, but for Natural Gas (methane), nothing could be better! Natural Gas cannot be overloaded with water vapor because that adds unnecessary weight (mass)...
