![Steam cracker at BASF's Ludwigshafen site. Steam cracker II, the largest individual plant at BASF's Ludwigshafen site, covers a surface area of about 64,000 square meters, which is about the size of 13 soccer fields. The steam cracker is also the heart of BASF's Verbund production strategy. This giant plant has been operating since 1981 and uses steam to crack naphtha at about 850°C [1,562°F]. This process leads primarily to ethylene and propylene, both indispensable feedstocks for manufacturing numerous products in Ludwigshafen.](/api/imaging/focalarea/16x9/2560x/dam/jcr%3A29e3cfea-4f5b-3cd5-a627-03e8285fd727/P165_Steamcracker_at_BASF_Ludwigshafen_site.jpg "Steam cracker at BASF's Ludwigshafen site.
