Innovative solutions in ethylene production: spotlight on EDHOX technology

In this episode of Hydrocarbon Processing's Main Column Podcast, host Lee Nichols is joined by Gunther Kracker, Head of Product Management and Cost Estimation at Linde Engineering. They discuss Linde's innovative EDHOX technology, a novel process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to produce ethylene and acetic acid. Gunther shares insights into the sustainable and economic benefits of EDHOX, its potential applications, and the future of this technology in the petrochemical industry. The episode also references a technical article published in the March 2024 issue of Hydrocarbon Processing and offers resources for further information.March 2024 Article: A novel process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to produce ethylene and acetic acid (hydrocarbonprocessing.com) (https://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/special-focus-petrochemical-technologies/a-novel-process-for-the-oxidative-dehydrogenation-of-ethane-to-produce-ethylene-and-acetic-acid/)Contact Dr. Gunther Kracker: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])00:00 Introduction to The Main Column Podcast00:24 Welcoming Our Special Guest: Gunther Kracker01:41 Overview of Linde Engineering04:17 Sustainable Technology Solutions07:09 Introduction to EDHOX Technology09:42 Key Features and Benefits of EDHOX15:52 Economic Advantages of EDHOX18:20 Target Audience and Market for EDHOX22:05 Commercial Readiness and Future Steps27:39 Conclusion and Further Information
