  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nApplicability\na.\nUse of promoters in cracking\nSee BAT 83\nGenerally applicable\nb.\nRapid quenching of the gaseous stream from EDC cracking\nThe gaseous stream from EDC cracking is quenched by direct contact with cold EDC in a tower to reduce coke formation. In some cases, the stream is cooled by heat exchange with cold liquid EDC feed prior to quenching\nGenerally applicable\nc.\nPre-evaporation of EDC feed\nCoke formation is reduced by evaporating EDC upstream of the reactor to remove high-boiling coke precursors\nOnly applicable to new plants or major plant upgrades\nd.\nFlat flame burners\nA type of burner in the furnace that reduces hot spots on the walls of the cracker tubes\nOnly applicable to new furnaces or major plant upgrades",
