Schmidt, G.
is the Group Lead of Process Design for cracking furnaces at Linde Engineering in Munich. Since joining Linde Engineering in 1985, he has been involved in process and mechanical design, as well as in the operational concerns of cracking furnaces. After gathering experience in development, sales, field work and project management, Schmidt took over responsibility for furnace design in 2006. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, where he graduated with a Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.).
Plastic pyrolysis oils as feedstock for steam crackers: Opportunities and challenges—Part 2
Plastic waste is a worldwide challenge. To reduce its carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) footprint, the plastics industry is striving to increase circularity by using plastic pyrolysis oils (pyoils) from waste plastics as steam cracker feedstock.
Plastic pyrolysis oils as feedstock for steam crackers: Opportunities and challenges—Part 1
Plastic waste is a global challenge. Today, only a minimal amount of plastic waste is recycled, mostly mechanically.
