As an important production equipment in the petrochemical industry, the collaborative optimization of energy efficiency improvement and carbon emission reduction for ethylene cracking furnaces is of great significance. In recent years, with the global improvement of requirements for carbon emission reduction, how to reduce carbon emissions while improving the energy efficiency of ethylene cracking furnaces has become a research hotspot. This paper proposes a collaborative optimization strategy, combining energy efficiency improvement and carbon emission reduction, and explores various means such as process optimization, thermal energy recovery, and catalyst modification to achieve the dual goals of improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Through simulation and experimental studies, the feasibility and effect of this strategy in actual production are verified. Through reasonable optimization and innovation, it can not only effectively improve the production efficiency of ethylene cracking furnaces but also provide support for enterprises in achieving the carbon neutrality goal.
