(Plastemart) -- Honeywell's company
UOP LLC has been selected by Zhejiang Julong Petrochemical Co. Ltd to
supply core technology for a new unit to manufacture propylene at its facility
in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province, China. Honeywell's UOP will provide
engineering design, technology licensing, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment,
staff training and technical service for the project. The unit is expected to
start up by 2013 and to produce 450 KTa of propylene.
China's propylene consumption accounts for more than 15% of worldwide
demand and is growing at about 5-6% pa. The new propane dehydrogenation unit at
the facility will use UOP's C3 Oleflex technology to convert propane to
propylene, a material used in the production of chemicals and materials such as
films and packaging.
