Wow, hope everyone is safe.

Hoping the best for everyone. Maybe it didn't do to much damage. These things take a toll on the Company, the employees, and the public.

Olefins unit, one of the more hazardous processes IMO.
Constantly pulling a furnace off line to decoke and placing one on line.
Process makes ethylene and propylene for plastics with lots of hydrogen.
