Honeywell announced on March 1 that Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. has successfully put into operation the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) unit of its UOP and successfully put it into operation.The new plant can extract methanol from coal and convert it to olefins Used in the manufacture of plastics, the unit can produce 833,000 tons of annual output, making it the world's largest single-car methanol-to-olefin plant.
'The equipment commissioned by Jiangsu Sierbang is currently the largest single MTO unit in the world.' 'Liu Mo Shu, general manager of UOP China at Honeywell, said:' In terms of scale and operational efficiency, Honeywell's UOP advanced methanol Olefin process technology in the industry to maintain its leading position.
Honeywell UOP core technology lies
Ethylene and propylene are the two most widely used raw materials in the global plastics manufacturing and are traditionally extracted from crude oil Methanol to olefins technology can be used to produce ethylene and propylene from alternative feedstocks such as coal and natural gas and is especially suitable for China where there is a lack of oil resources Countries and regions.
Honeywell's first UOP unit for advanced methanol to olefins production commenced at Wison Energy in 2013.
Jiangsu Sierbang chose the advanced methanol-to-olefins process from Honeywell's UOP because the process produces the highest light olefin production at the lowest production costs, operating costs and catalyst levels. In addition, the plant not only produces Ethylene and propylene, but also carbon tetra (C4) olefins.
Honeywell's UOP's advanced methanol-to-olefins process combines UOP / Hydro methanol to olefin technology and Total / UOP olefin cracking to dramatically improve throughput and feedstock efficiency. Methanol can be extracted from coal or natural gas and converted to ethylene and propylene at the heart of Honeywell's proprietary UOP catalyst that effectively adjusts the propylene to ethylene production ratio to enable producers to more effectively meet Market demand.
Will also produce ethylene, carbon tetraolefins
The methanol-to-olefins plant put into operation will also produce ethylene, a raw material for ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, widely used in adhesives, foaming agents, medical equipment, photovoltaic cells, etc. Butadiene-producing Raw materials Carbon tetra (C4) olefins, butadiene is one of the main raw materials for the production of synthetic rubber.
Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenghong Group, located in Xuwei New District Chemical Industry Park, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province.After its completion, its base covers a total area of about 500 hectares and can produce nearly 250 Tons of tons of high-end petrochemical industry shortages.
