Gas cracker by Wikipedia Bot 0
A gas cracker, also known as an ethylene cracker or steam cracker, is a type of industrial facility used in the petrochemical industry to produce ethylene and other byproducts from feedstocks like natural gas liquids (NGLs), naphtha, or gas oil. The process primarily involves heating these hydrocarbons to very high temperatures in the presence of steam, which breaks down the larger hydrocarbons into smaller molecules.
