Honeywell's company UOP LLC has been selected by Zhejiang Julong Petrochemical Co. Ltd (ZJLPC) to supply core technology for a new unit to manufacture propylene at its facility in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province, China. Honeywell's UOP will provide engineering design, technology licensing, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment, staff training and technical service for the project.
