To lengthen production runs, a Canadian ethylene operator experimented with a coating system to protect a critical compressor`s rotor from hydrocarbon-polymerization/fouling. In ethylene manufacturing, compressor fouling is an accepted ``fact of life.`` Past attempts to minimize fouling in the crack-gas compression train were unsuccessful or marginally cost-effective. Applying protective coatings to a critical-service ethylene compressor rotor slowed oiling, thus lengthening the production run time by one year.
