    [ Star Enterprise of Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] On November 6, Honeywell announced that Donghua Energy Co.
    , Ltd.
    (hereinafter referred to as "Donghua Energy") will adopt Honeywell UOP's C3 Oleflex™ propane dehydrogenation technology.
    To meet its growing demand for polymer-grade propylene production.
    The new Oleflex propane dehydrogenation unit will be put into operation at Donghua Energy’s plant in Maoming, Guangdong Province in 2022.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network star enterprise chemical machinery and equipment
    Honeywell UOP will be responsible for providing a package of services, equipment, catalysts and adsorbents for Donghua Energy’s Maoming plant.
    This is the fourth C3 Oleflex propane dehydrogenation unit built by Donghua Energy and the 44th unit built in China to meet the growing demand for propylene.
    Propylene is the main raw material for the manufacture of plastic resins, films and fibers.

     

    Since 2011, 68 of the 92 dehydrogenation projects are based on UOP technology, including multiple Chinese projects.
    Up to now, the annual output of propylene produced with Oleflex technology is as high as 7.
    9 million tons.

     

    "The reason why Honeywell UOP's Oleflex propane dehydrogenation technology has been continuously favored by Donghua Energy and other* customers lies in its excellent operational reliability and cost-effectiveness," Honeywell UOP Vice President and General Manager China Mr.
    Xiang Lei said.
    "The Chinese market has a huge demand for propylene, and we continue to be optimistic about its growth prospects.
    "
     

      Honeywell UOP's C3 Oleflex technology uses catalytic dehydrogenation to convert propane to propylene.
    Compared with similar technologies, it has lower cash production costs and higher return on investment.
    Oleflex technology is based on a platinum-containing catalyst system with alumina as the carrier, which has the characteristics of low energy consumption, low emissions, safe and recyclable, and can greatly reduce the impact on the environment.
    In addition, the relatively independent reaction and regeneration system of Oleflex technology can improve operational flexibility and online reliability.

     

      Headquartered in Nanjing, Donghua Energy Co.
    , Ltd.
    is a propylene producer and LPG distributor in China, and one of the first domestic companies to adopt *propylene technology.
    The three previously used C3 Oleflex propane dehydrogenation units each have an annual output of 660,000 tons.
    Two units are currently in operation, and one will be put into operation this year.
    In addition to the fourth set of equipment to be built at the Maoming factory announced this time, two other sets are being implemented simultaneously.
