Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. has clinched multiple technology contracts from chemical products manufacturer, Tianjin Bohua Chemical Development Co. Ltd. to build a grassroots petrochemicals plant in Tianjin, China. CB&I will offer license and engineering design to three units - an ethylbenzene unit, a methanol to olefins (MTO) light olefins recovery unit and a polypropylene unit. CB&I’s proprietary technologies, including the Novolen gas-phase polypropylene technology, will be used to produce a gamut of polypropylene products.

This is the company’s second major project in China in a week. Earlier, CB&I had inked a strategic alliance with Jinzhou Port Co., Ltd. (Jingang) which entails it to act as the master licensor for an integrated refining and petrochemicals project in Jinzhou City, China.
