Working with LDPE

Having worked on the design of many of the most recent world scale LDPE facilities using licensed technology, Otto Simon Chemicals’ engineers have a detailed knowledge of LDPE technology. This includes integration of these developments into new build plants and refurbished plants for both tubular and autoclave applications. 

Many design aspects are unique to an LDPE plant and they require special attention and consideration during the design phase.  

Some typical examples include the compressor foundation design and performance, correct consideration and design to resist forces in the main process piping, intercoolers, reactors, and vent systems. It is important that the design coordination between all the involved parties are correctly considered and managed throughout the design process. Our specialist LDPE engineers are experienced with managing all technical post order activities for high pressure and specialist process equipment.

The characteristics and potential for decomposition of ethylene at high pressure require specialist knowledge. Incorrect consideration of these aspects can result in an installation suffering poor performance and excessive downtime for the plant’s entire operating lifetime.
