Corrosionpedia Explains Pyrolysis Coil

A pyrolysis coil houses inlet steam and hydrocarbons at reduced partial pressures. Due to the endothermic nature of the conversion reactions, heat typically in excess of 700°C (1292°F) is introduced into the coils. Pyrolysis coils are used in the generation of propylene and ethylene as end products.
