Alongside technology licensing, Honeywell UOP will provide the process design package, proprietary and nonproprietary equipment, on-site operator training, technical services for startup and continuing operation, as well as catalysts and adsorbents for the project, the service provider said.

Once completed, the plant will be able to produce 250,000 tpy of polymer-grade propylene.

Honeywell UOP disclosed neither a value of the contract nor a timeframe for commissioning of the project.

One of China’s officially licensed independent refiners, Wonfull Petrochemical, produces low-sulfur gasoline, diesel, LPG, petroleum coke, sulfur, propylene, and other petrochemicals.
