Phu My Plastics Production JSC has let a contract to Honeywell UOP LLC to provide process technology for a grassroots propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit at its operations in Ba Ria, Vung Tau Province, Vietnam.
As part of the contract, Honeywell UOP will deliver licensing for its proprietary C3 Oleflex process technology, the process design package, proprietary and nonproprietary equipment, onsite operator training, technical services for startup and continuing operation, as well as proprietary catalysts and adsorbents, the service supplier said.
The PDH plant, once completed, will produce 306,000 tonnes/year of polymer-grade propylene to help meet growing demand for plastics in Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia, helping to supplant propylene products currently imported into the region.
Honeywell UOP disclosed neither a value of the contract nor a timeframe for the plant’s proposed commissioning.
