MOSCOW (MRC) -- Four CB&I technologies were selected by China's CNOOC Oil & Petrochemicals Co. the second expansion phase of their refinery and petrochemical complex at Huizhou in Guangdong Province, according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.
This award includes the first license in China of CB&I’s recently acquired E-Gas gasification technology. The E-Gas gasification technology can be used to generate clean synthesis gas from coal and petroleum coke for use in power generation, hydrogen and steam for refineries, and a range of products from fertilizer to methanol to synthetic natural gas (SNG) in the coal-to-chemical industry.
CB&I’s scope of work includes the license and process engineering design of the Lummus olefins conversion technology (OCT) for the production of 250,000 tpy of propylene and the CDHDS+ hydrodesulfurization technology for the processing of 2.4 million tpy of FCC gasoline to produce 10 ppm ultra-low sulfur gasoline.
The award also involves CB&I's E-Gas technology for the gasification of 1.7 million tpy of coal to produce syngas for hydrogen and chemicals production at the refinery, as well as the vacuum residuum desulfurization technology (VRDS) from Chevron Lummus Global for the processing of 3.7 million tpy of vacuum residue.
As MRC reported earlier, Chinese Company CNOOC has recently selected INEOS Technologies Innovene S HDPE process for their new project in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China. The 400 KTA Innovene S HDPE plant will produce a wide range of polyethylene grades to serve the growing HDPE demand in China. These grades include commodity grades made from Ziegler and Chrome catalysts as well as specialty grades such as bimodal PE 100 pipe products. Besides, the company has also selected the LyondellBasell Spherizone technology for a 400 KT per year polypropylene (PP) plant planned to be built in Huizhou, China.
China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC Group Chinese) is one of the major national oil companies of China. It is the third-largest national oil company in the People's Republic of China after CNPC (parent of PetroChina), and China Petrochemical Corporation (parent of Sinopec).The CNOOC Group focuses on the exploitation, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas offshore of China.
