Ethylene is also used in the production of:
- Acetaldehyde
- Acetic acid
- Chloroethane
- Dichloroethane
- Vinylidene chloride
- Ethanol
- Synthetic polymers
Ethylene Gas for Fruit Ripening
Ethylene gas is widely used in agricultural storage facilities and food distribution systems for controlled fruit ripening applications.
- Banana ripening
- Tomato ripening
- Avocado conditioning
- Tropical fruit storage management
Very low ethylene concentrations measured in ppm levels are commonly used in controlled warehouse environments.
For improved safety, nitrogen-balanced ethylene gas mixtures are frequently recommended for commercial fruit ripening systems due to the flammability of pure ethylene gas.
R1150 Refrigerant Applications
Ethylene is also used as refrigerant R1150 in low-temperature refrigeration systems and petrochemical cooling processes.
- Cascade refrigeration systems
- Cryogenic processing
- Petrochemical cooling systems
- Ultra-low temperature industrial refrigeration
Production Process of Ethylene
Commercial ethylene production is commonly achieved through:
- Steam cracking of hydrocarbons
- Pyrolysis of ethane
- Dehydration of ethanol vapours over catalysts
The dehydration process typically operates at temperatures between 360°C and 470°C using specialised catalysts.
Safety & Handling of Ethylene Gas
Ethylene is classified as a highly flammable gas and should only be handled by trained personnel following applicable industrial gas safety procedures.
Important Safety Considerations
- Store cylinders in well-ventilated areas
- Keep away from ignition sources and open flames
- Use approved gas regulators and piping systems
- Avoid exposure to excessive heat
- Inspect cylinders regularly for leakage or damage
- Follow local compressed gas handling regulations
