Xuzhou HaiDing Chemical Technology Co. Ltd. (XHCT) has let a joint contract to CB&I, Houston, and Clariant International Ltd., Muttenz, Switzerland, to provide technology licensing and engineering design of a grassroots propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit to be built in Pizhou, in China’s Jiangsu province.
The unit will use CB&I’s Catofin catalytic dehydrogenation process technology and Clariant's tailor-made, nonnoble, Catofin catalyst to produce 600,000 tonnes/year of propylene, CB&I said.
While it confirmed XHCT’s proposed PDH unit is on a fast track to completion, CB&I did not disclose further details regarding the project, including a value of the contract.
