Overview:
- The role’s focus will be to leverage the technology for three main decarbonization initiatives in the vinyl industry.
- Chemical PVC Recycling- Clean acetylene can be combined with gaseous hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is a by-product of chemical PVC recycling, to produce a circular PVC product.
- Waste Hydrocarbon/Flare Gas Utilization- Given the flexibility of feedstocks that can be used in the reactors, waste hydrocarbons can be processed for incremental VCM capacity at existing VCM production facilities.
- Cracker Electrification- In select geographies, producers are evaluating electrifying existing ethylene or naphtha crackers. With this, there is a necessity to process tail gas that was previously fed back to the furnaces. The company can process that tail gas and provide VCM capacity expansion as a package for these large-scale cracker electrification initiatives.
