(Chemical Engineering) -- Air Liquide
(Paris) announced that its engineering and construction division has signed a
contract with the Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group (SNCG; China) to build a
500 KTa methanol-to-propylene (MTP) plant. The new plant will follow the
successful commissioning of the first industrial scale unit built with the same
client.
The contract comprises the basic engineering, license and supply of
proprietary equipment, as well as services for procurement and technical
advisory services at the site. The large-scale MTP plant is based on technology
licensed by Lurgi. SNCG, in close cooperation with the Lurgi team, played an
important role in the commissioning and startup phases of the first MTP plant,
thereby helping to prove the success of the Lurgi MTP technology at industrial
scale.
The unit will be built in Ningdong, in the Chinese
province of Ningxia. The engineering phase for the contract is to be completed
within about eight months.
