OLGA technology

The patented OLGA-technology is the first cleaning unit after MILENA. It efficiently removes particles and heavy components like poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (tar) without removing valuable components from the MILENA cracker gas. OLGA provides an important degree of freedom for the MILENA cracker to operate at the temperature required to produce valuable chemicals. OLGA is a scrubbing technology that shows similarities to what is being used in steel industry for cleaning coke oven gas (COG), but is designed to avoid tar/water mixtures. OLGA units have been built and operated up to 2000 Nm3/h capacity.
