Technip has been awarded a contract by Total Petrochemicals for a turnkey contract for the construction of a demonstration unit at the petrochemicals complex at Feluy (Belgium). This unit will make use of the combination of the Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) process developed by UOP/HYDRO and the Olefin* Cracking process (OCP) developed by Total Petrochemicals/UOP.
Total Petrochemicals will demonstrate the industrial feasibility of a production of light olefins and more specifically of propylene from methanol that can be obtained directly from coal or gas. This project is part of the E40 million global investment on the site. This unit will have a fully modular design in order to shorten the construction delay and allow for a start up in 2007.
