Honeywell recently announced that Shandong Huifeng Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd. will use Honeywell UOP's C3 OleflexTM propane dehydrogenation technology to produce polymer grade propylene at its plant in the Huantai Economic Development Zone, Shandong Province, with annual production of up to 250,000. Ton.
Honeywell is responsible for providing authorization, process design packages, proprietary and non-proprietary equipment, on-site operator training, start-up and continuous operation of technical services, and key catalysts and sorbents for this project. This is Honeywell in China. 34th Oleflex technology successfully authorized.
' Driven by the surge in the demand for polypropylene and other propylene derivatives used in the manufacture of resins, fibers and plastics, China's propylene production has grown significantly.' said Liu Maoshu, vice president and general manager of Honeywell UOP China, 'Oleflex can Convert propane to high quality propylene to meet customer's stringent requirements for propylene purity.
Honeywell UOP's C3 Oleflex technology converts propane to propylene by using catalytic dehydrogenation, which is more conducive to lower cash production costs and higher return on investment compared to similar technologies. The technology is based on a platinum-alumina catalyst system. With low energy consumption, low emissions and fully recyclable features, it can minimize the impact on the environment. The independent reaction and regeneration system can achieve steady state operation, improve the operational flexibility, operation rate and reliability.
Honeywell UOP also licenses C4 Oleflex technology, which converts butanes to butenes, the latter being the main component for the manufacture of high octane fuel additives and synthetic rubbers. Since 2011, the world has 64 propanes. Fifty-two of the isobutane dehydrogenation projects use Honeywell UOP's Oleflex technology, including the HSBC petrochemical project.
Since the first commercialization of Oleflex technology in 1990, Honeywell UOP has successfully authorized 29 Oleflex units that produce propylene exclusively and isobutene. Up to now, the annual production of propylene using Oleflex technology has reached 6.8 million metric tons.
