Olefins

Shaw is an established leader in the world of ethylene technology, having designed and constructed more than 120 ethylene plants worldwide. Approximately 40 percent of the world's incremental ethylene production during the last decade has been based on our technology. Shaw-designed ethylene plants have established a global reputation for exceptionally high operational reliability, rapid startup, and superior performance. These same advantages can be realized by revamping older plants to incorporate advanced technologies.

Our long-standing commitment to continuous technological improvements has resulted in such leading-edge developments as:

  • Ultra-Selective Conversion (USC) cracking furnaces
  • Advanced Recovery System (ARS)
  • Ripple® Tray
  • Spent Caustic Treatment Systems
  • C2 and C3 Acetylene Recovery
  • Process and Energy Integration Schemes
  • Catalytic Olefins
