Germany's Evonik has signed a deal with officials from Jilin Province for a non-exclusive license to build and operate a 300,000 tpa propylene oxide plant in Jilin Province, Northeastern China, as per Platts. The plant will be run by a yet-to-be-established joint venture between Jilin Shenhua and Jilin North Chemical Company. It would take an estimated 2-3 years for a propylene oxide plant to be build after construction starts. Evonik will license the HPPO-process in which propylene is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to produce propylene oxide.
