DETAILS
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that
Jiangsu Sailboat Petrochemical Company, Ltd.
has accepted
a new methanol-to-olefins (MTO) unit
provided by Honeywell UOP,
and that the plant is operating and has met all guarantees.
With a production capacity of 833,000 metric tons per year,
the unit is the largest single-train MTO unit in the world.
The Sailboat facility in Lianyungang City
in Jiangsu Province manufactures
* propylene to make acrylonitrile
for clothing and fabrics,
and high-performance polymers used in
automotive parts, hard hats and other hard plastic products.
The plant also produces
* ethylene for ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers
that are used to make adhesives, foams,
medical devices, photovoltaic cells,
and other products,
* and C4 olefins for butadiene,
an ingredient in synthetic rubber.
Jiangsu Sailboat chose
because it produces
* the highest yields of light olefins
* at the lowest cost of production, with
* the lowest catalyst consumption and
* the lowest operating cost.
In addition, the unit is configured
for production of C4 olefins
as well as ethylene and propylene.
Honeywell UOP’s Advanced MTO process combines
* the UOP/Hydro MTO process and
* the Total/UOP Olefin Cracking Process
to significantly increase yields and feedstock efficiency.
The process converts
methanol from coal and natural gas
into ethylene and propylene.
At the heart of the technology are
UOP’s proprietary catalysts,
which make it possible
to efficiently adjust the ratio
of propylene and ethylene produced
so operators can most effectively
meet demand for those products.
