Inventors include Pajand, Pejman; Warren Jr, Ronald Phillip; Bojovic, Vesna; and Mutlu, Mete.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: This invention provides an energy management system for use with an electrified cracker (e-cracker) furnace, such as a bio-oil, naphtha or ethane cracker. The system comprises a feed comprised of a combustible tail gas obtained from an e-cracker furnace. A controller that monitors a supply of electrical power to an e-cracker and controls the feed. An electrical power generator is configured to utilise the combustible tail gas as a source of fuel and is in gaseous communication with the feed. In use, the controller is configured to detect or anticipate a deficit in the supply of electrical power to the e- cracker below a threshold level and when a deficit is detected or anticipated to supply the combustible tail gas to the electrical power generator in order to generate sufficient electrical power to compensate for the deficit in the supply of electrical power. Processes for operating an e-cracker furnace comprising the system are also provided.
