DETAILS
Clariant today announced an agreement
with Xuzhou HaiDing Chemical Technology Co. Ltd.
to develop a custom-built CATOFIN catalyst
and propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit
in cooperation with its technology partner CB&I.
The project includes
the license and engineering design of the unit,
which is to be built in Pizhou, Jiangsu Province, China.
The Xuzhou HaiDing plant is designed
to produce 600 kilotons per year (KTA) of propylene
and will be based on
Clariant's CATOFIN catalytic dehydrogenation technology,
which employs the company's CATOFIN catalyst
and Heat Generating Material (HGM).
Globally, nine CATOFIN propane dehydrogenation units
have been successfully commissioned
and continue to reliably produce more than 4,500 KTA of propylene.
Typically operating above 110 percent of designed capacity
with near 98% on-stream time, CATOFIN delivers
highly attractive return on investment for its users.
CATOFIN is a proven, highly reliable dehydrogenation catalyst
used for the production of olefins, such as
propylene or isobutylene, from light paraffin feedstocks.
HGM is a patented metal-oxide material loaded
with the catalyst that increases the selectivity
and yield of CATOFIN units.
To maximize the yield of propane to propylene,
the process operates
at thermodynamically advantaged reactor pressure
and temperature and utilizes a highly selective catalyst.
CATOFIN’s optimized conditions deliver
the highest conversion and selectivity
among the technologies proven in the market today.
