Construction at Mossmorran, 25 miles north of Edinburgh, began in 1981 and the plant was offi cially opened by the Queen in 1986. It was the fi rst plant specifi cally designed to use natural gas liquids from the North Sea as feedstock. The plant has an annual capacity of 830’000 tons of ethylene. To make ethylene, ethane feedstock is heated to almost 900°C to 'crack' it to ethylene in the steam cracking furnaces. The gas stream is then cooled to below -160°C to recover the valuable ethylene product. 2 high and 1 high high alarm Requirement for level switches Why Trimod Besta? ▪ Hazardous area.
