MOSCOW (MRC) -- LyondellBasell announced it has been selected by Jiangsu Fenghai High-tech Materials Co. to supply the technologies for a polyolefin project to be built in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China, according to Apic-online.
The new facility will include the production of 400,000-t/y polypropylene (PP), based on LyondellBasell?s Spheripol technology, and 300,000 t/y of high density polyethylene (HDPE) using its Hostalen ACP process.
Cost of the project and a completion date were not available.
"We are delighted that Jiangsu Fenghai has awarded LyondellBasell these substantial licenses for their first polyolefin project," said Neil Nadalin, director of licensing at LyondellBasell.

The new plants will comprise of a PP plant that will utilize LyondellBasell’s Spheripol PP process technology to produce 280,000 metric tons per year (m.t./yr) of PP and a 480-m.t./yr HDPE plant which will utilize LyondellBasell’s Hostalen ACP process technology and will be built in Al Duqm, Oman.
According to MRC's ScanPlast report, Russia's estimated PE consumption totalled 953,400 tonnes in the first five months of 2021, which virtually corresponded to the same figure a year earlier. High denisty polyethylene (HDPE) shipments decreased. At the same time, PP shipments to the Russian market were 607,8900 tonnes in January-May 2021, up by 33% year on year. Shipments of homopolymer PP and PP block copolymers increased, whereas deliveries of PP random copolymers decreased.
