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. The Tianjin plant will be the eighth to be built using Spherizone technology.
Start up of this plant, which will represent Basell's 200th polyolefins process license, is planned for 2009. Basell has licensed an estimated 2.5 million tons of capacity, including 3 new Spherizone process licenses in the past two months.
The 200 polyolefin process licenses granted by Basell are twice that of any other polyolefin technology licensor. During the past 20 years, Basell technologies have been used in about half of all new polypropylene projects worldwide.
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.
