ABOUT HONEYWELL UOP TECHNOLOGY
ABOUT Honeywell UOP’s C3/C4 Oleflex technology
Honeywell UOP’s C3/C4 Oleflex technology
uses catalytic dehydrogenation to convert
propane to propylene and
isobutane to isobutylene.
Using mixed dehydrogenation, the processes are combined
to produce both materials in a single unit.
The technology is proven to have
* the lowest cash cost of production and
* the highest return on investment
compared with competing technologies
DETAILS
a Honeywell (NYSE: HON)company,
announced today that
Shandong Chambroad Holding Co., Ltd.
has become the first company in China to commission
a combined C3/C4dehydrogenation unit
to meet growing demand in Asia
for plastics, high-octane gasoline and synthetic rubber.
Located in Binzhou City, Shandong Province,
the new unit will produce
* 116,000 metric tonnes per year of propylene and
* 104,000 metric tonnes per year of isobutylene
The new unit, which is the first of three in China,
uses Honeywell UOP’s C3/C4Oleflex™ process technology
to produce
a building block for making plastics, packaging and synthetic fiber,
and
a component used for high-octane gasoline and synthetic rubber.
The unit, which is only the second of its kind in the world,
successfully started up in May and
all production targets have been accepted.
Two other Chinese producers have also licensed
the technology for start up in 2017
Honeywell UOP’s C3/C4 Oleflex technology
has also been licensed by two other Chinese producers.
* Dongming Petrochemical Group will produce
265,000 metric tonnes per year of propylene and isobutylene, and
* Dongying Liyuan will produce
220,000 metric tonnes per year of propylene and isobutylene
using the process.
Both facilities also will use
Honeywell UOP’s Butamer™ process,
which converts normal butane into isobutane
to increase feedstock flexibility for the Oleflex process.
