Developing custom spraying
solutions for industrial
applications is a specialist
area for BETE, with an
emphasis which is often
focused on ‘problem solving’
in challenging situations.

An example in a chemical
processing application
involved oil quenching in the
production of ethylene, the
base ‘ingredient’ for many
other products. Ethylene
feedstock is usually ethane,
propane, butane, or other
feedstocks. This is mixed
with steam and heated to
1500°F to cause the reaction
that converts it to ethylene in
the pyrolysis furnace.

It is downstream from the
furnace where BETE’s nozzle
expertise is required, as part
of the crucial cooling process.

Oil is injected into the process
stream to reduce the
temperature. A good
spraying pattern is important
to ensure effective cooling.

BETE’s MaxiPass nozzles
are designed for hydrocarbon
feed applications.Nozzles
offer a uniform distribution,
good drop size and come in a
range of materials.
