The Push Test procedure combines the use of design capacity factors, operational reviews, and localized plant testing to “push†individual unit operations to their constraining limits to confirm their available remaining capacity with a high degree of confidence. Incremental breakpoints are identified, along with potential modifications needed to mitigate the associated constraints.
The paper will elaborate on the Push Test procedure for an ethylene plant, including descriptions of how to test individual unit operation capacity limits after reaching the initial plant constraint when increasing feed rate. Examples of potential Push Test applications will also be provided
