CB&I announced it has been awarded a contract by Shandong Sincier Petrochemical Co., Ltd. for the license and engineering design of a grassroots propane and butane dehydrogenation unit to be built in Dongying, Shandong Province, China. The unit will use the CATOFIN® dehydrogenation technology offered from CB&I and Clariant's tailor-made CATOFIN catalyst to process feeds containing 165,000 mtpa of propane and 250,000 mtpa of iso-butane for the joint production of propylene and isobutylene.
"This project award demonstrates the flexibility of the CATOFIN technology and catalyst to allow customers to co-process multiple feed compositions at optimal conditions for the highest yields with proven operational reliability," said Daniel McCarthy, President of CB&I's Technology operating group. "The new CATOFIN unit will enable Shandong Sincier to process cost effective LPG feedstocks." Propylene and isobutylene will be used as building blocks to produce a variety of plastics and solvents.
