The Linde Group’s Engineering Division
have entered into a cooperation agreement
aimed at providing performance and cost efficiencies
for the production of polyethylene resins.

Under the agreement, Univation and Linde will work toward
delivering streamlined technology, capital expense
and operational expense reduction opportunities
and improved quality in early stage design
to ethylene cracker and polyethylene projects.

the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) phase
of UNIPOL™ PE Process projects.

“Our combination of technology and engineering, procurement
and construction capabilities is a key driver to deliver
competitive solutions to the petrochemical industry.
We are excited to leverage the enormous potential synergies
inherent in this close collaboration with
Univation Technologies to deliver value to
our existing and future customers.”
Dr Steven F. Stanley,
President of Univation Technologies, LLC,
"As the leading polyethylene technology licensor around the world,
we are constantly looking for ways to deliver more value
for our licensees.
This agreement with Linde allows us to take our solution-driven approach
to the next level covering
the entire UNIPOL™ PE Process platform
including back-integration into cracker operations and
improved economics for both new plant and retrofit projects."
