Serbon Petrochemical sproduceuses propylene using Honeywell technology

Honeywell announced on March 14 that Jiangsu Serbon Petrochemical Co., Ltdwill adopt Honeywell UOP's C3Oleflex ™ technology at its plant in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, for the production of polymer-grade propylene, with an annual output of up to 700,000 tonsIn addition, Serbon Petrochemical will retrofit the existing UOP methanol olefin (MTO) process to expand production capacityIncreased acrylic production has helped to meet China's growing demand for a wide range of consumer plasticsHoneywell UOP will be responsible for providing authorizations, process design packages, equipment, on-site operator training, technical services, and catalysts and adsorbents required for the projectHoneywell UOP's C3Oleflex technology converts propane into propylene by catalyzing dehydrogenation, which is less costly and returns on investment than other technologies used by its peersBased on the catalyst system of platinum-alumina, the technology has the characteristics of low energy consumption, low emissions and full recyclability, which can significantly reduce the environmental impactIndependent reaction and regeneration systems enable steady-state operation, increasing operating flexibility, operating rate and reliabilityHoneywell UOP also provides c4Oleflex technology license, which converts butane into buteneThe latter is the main component in the manufacture of high-octane fuel additives and synthetic rubberincludes this project, honeywell UOP's Oleflex technology has accounted for most of the global propane and isobutane dehydrogenation projects since 2011The agreement with Serbon Petrochemicals is Honeywell's 36th Oleflex technology authorized in ChinaSince the initial commercialization of Oleflex technology 30 years ago, Honeywell UOP has successfully commercialized 31 Oleflex units that produce specialized propylene and isobuteneTo date, the world's annual production of propylene using Oleflex technology is approximately 7.3 million metric tonsJiangsu Serbon Petrochemical Co., Ltdis a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenghong Holding Group Co., Ltd., located in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, Xuwei New Area Industrial ParkAfter the project is put into operation, the annual output of the shortage of high-end petrochemical products in the Serbon petrochemical olefin joint plant is expected to exceed 2.5 million tons
