This
paper will discuss the most recent operating data with the E-Series^®
catalyst in Chevron Phillips Chemical's Port Arthur, Texas Plant. The Port
Arthur plant operates Back End acetylene hydrogenation reactors. With constant
selectivity throughout the run, the catalyst has achieved greater than 24
months of run length without regeneration. This has improved plant ethylene
production rates and reliability.
