Hi.

I am modeling some specific case of steam cracker by SPYRO software. I try to check the composition of effluent from the furnace when propylene is using as a feedstock, and according to Spyro there is ~70%wt propylene in effluent. I always thougt that if olefins are directed to steam cracker most of them is converted into coke. I have doubt if Spyro results are correct. Has Spyro possibility to show how many coke is forming during pyrolysis? Or maybe someone can help me explain my doubt?

It is unlikely that anyone would send propylene to a cracking furnace.

I know, but I don't want send propylene to furnace. I only try to check what will teoretically happen with him into the steam cracker. As it was mentioned in my first post I always thougt that if olefins are directed to steam cracker most of them is converted into coke.
