HOUSTON, Apr. 30 -- Chinese Petroleum Corp. (CPC), Taiwan, will use GTC Technology's GT-BTX extractive distillation technology as part of its No. 6 naphtha cracker and No. 7 BTX project in Lin Yuan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Lummus Technology (formerly ABB Lummus Global) was awarded the overall contract for the project, which will produce 600,000 tonnes/year of ethylene (OGJ, Aug. 13, 2007, p. 10).
GTC's technology extracts high-purity benzene, toluene, and mixed xylenes (BTX) from hydrotreated pyrolysis gas.
This is the 20th license of the GT-BTX technology.
