MOSCOW (MRC) -- Wison Engineering has completed construction on Nanjing Chengzhi Yongqing Energy Technology Co.'s new methanol-to-olefins (MTO) plant and butene-to-butadiene unit in Nanjing, China, as per Apic-online.
The 600,000-t/y MTO facility utilizes Honeywell UOP's advanced reaction technology and Wison's proprietary olefin separation technology.
The 100,000-t/y butadiene plant is based on Wison's proprietary Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Butene to Butadiene (ODH) technology. Cost of the project was not available.
Wison was awarded the engineering, procurement and construction contract for the project in late 2017. The project was completed and delivered within 18 months.
This is Wison's "first" commercial project for integrating ODH technology with MTO technologies, and the "second" such application in the world, Wison noted.
As MRC reported earlier, in October 2018, the global leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) service provider Wison Engineering Services Co. Ltd. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Wison Engineering Ltd. has signed an EPC contract, approximately USD150 million, with Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) for a Utilities Park & Pilot Plants project. The park and plants project is part of the ongoing SABIC Technology Center (STC) expansion plan in Jubail, marking SABIC's biggest investment in innovation, globally. Once the expansion plan completed, the fully integrated complex will be the biggest of SABIC's 21 global technology and innovation centers spread across different regions.
