Now that the technology has basically matured, there is less discussion, and the sector is becoming increasingly quiet. There aren’t many strange things; it’s just that every time I drive, water hammer occurs due to the condensed water, and it usually gets better on its own after some time. The valve turns on and off by itself for no reason.
DMTO has engineering experience with over a dozen units in operation； UOP has only engineering experience with 4 MTO units in operation, and the first two of these units had a capacity of only 300,000 tons per year; it was not until 2016 that a unit with a capacity of 600,000 tons per year was put into operation. Users intuitively perceive that DMTO has extensive performance capabilities and a high level of technical maturity.
Why is there a difference in the carbon-4 content of the products produced by Ordos Mengda and Yulin Zhongmei?
Both SSMTO and SHMTO have achieved industrial success.
Is that one better? Is it caused by differences in raw materials or by the process flow of the equipment?
I disagree with you; technical maturity cannot be defined by the number of commercialized devices
