Instead of focusing on improving the existing technology, RDR is a completely new patented technology that replaces the most inefficient and polluting part of the Olefins production process with a cleaner and more efficient method.

Instead of heating the feedstock mixture from outside the reaction zone, RDR’s high-velocity rotor blades create thermal energy to heat the mixture inside the reaction zone – quickly and much more efficiently. And RDR’s motors have the ability to use renewable electric power, making it the only feasible technology that can use electricity instead of fossil fuels to reach the high cracking temperatures needed in the Olefins production process.

When it comes to hydrocarbon cracking, the main factors affecting product distribution are the composition of the feed, the temperature of the reacting gas, pressure, and residence time.

Because RDR creates higher temperatures with a shorter residence time, it is able to achieve 30% higher Ethylene yields. For petrochemical producers, that translates into increased annual profits of over 200M$ per 1Mt Ethylene plant. Shorter residence times and higher temperatures also mean that RDR is less prone to coking than conventional furnaces, resulting in lower operational costs and increased up time.

And that 30% higher Ethylene yield also means 30% fewer CO2 emissions per Ethylene ton. Taking RDR into use also decreases capital expenditure when building a new Ethylene plant.

RDR’s electric motors replace fossil fuels with renewable energy, cutting carbon emissions by 66% and helping petrochemical producers and governments to fulfil their commitments to the Paris Agreement.
