Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemical Company has selected Basell's Spherizone technology for a new 450,000 tpa polypropylene (PP) plant to be built at Dagang, Tianjin in the People's Republic of China. The plant is scheduled to start up in 2009. An estimated 2.5 million tons of capacity has already been licensed, including three new Spherizone process licenses in the past two months. Sinopec Tianjin will be the eighth to be built using Spherizone technology.
Spherizone technology is an advanced manufacturing process for the production of polypropylene that uses a unique, state-of-the-art, multi-zone circulating reactor system. Spherizone process plants can produce the full range of polypropylene grades, as well as new families of propylene-based polymers.
