Clicks: 17. On February 12, Dow and Johnson Matthey announced that the 300,000-ton per year butanol production facility at Hua Yi New Materials Co., Ltd.’s integrated chemical materials plant in Qinzhou would use the LP OxoSELECTOR™ 10 technology. The Huayi Qinzhou Phase II project, which involves the integrated production of 750,000 tons of propylene and its downstream products, requires an investment of 872,644 million yuan. The main components of this project include facilities for producing 750,000 tons per year of propylene via propane dehydrogenation (PDH), 300,000 tons per year of butanol, 400,000 tons per year of acrylic acid and its esters, 80,000 tons per year of methyl methacrylate (MMA), 180,000 tons per year of phenol, 180,000 tons per year of bisphenol A, and 200,000 tons per year of polycarbonate, along with related supporting facilities. “Our technology licensing and catalyst business will continue to be an important platform for Dow’s long-term business growth,” said Donna Babcock, Director of the High-Performance Intermediates business unit in Dow’s Industrial Solutions segment. “We are honored that Hua Yi has chosen our LP OxoSELECTOR™10 technology for its new butanol facility in China. Together with Jones Lang LaSalle, we will help Huayi refine its market positioning, enabling it to serve customers in downstream segments such as paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants more effectively and achieve business growth. ” John Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Matthey’s divisions, said: “This plant will be the 55th project in which we license Dow Chemical Company the LP Oxo™ process technology.” We have a team of advanced engineering designers and technical specialists who have created tremendous value for numerous licensed users over the past 45 years. This time, we look forward to working hand in hand with Huayi to strive for the successful commissioning of the facility and its smooth operation thereafter, thereby bringing the greatest value to Huayi. ” It is reported that to date, the LP Oxoᙚᔿ technology has been licensed for a large number of projects in 15 countries around the world, accounting for the vast majority of the capacity for producing carbonyl synthesis alcohols through licensing over the past 45 years. Qian Zhigang, General Manager of Guangxi Huayi New Materials Co., Ltd., said, “We chose the LP Oxoᙚᔿ technology for our new plant because we recognize the benefits that can be derived from partnering with Dow and Johnson Matthey—two companies that have long been leaders in the field of oxo-alcohol synthesis technology.” This license will enable us to improve production efficiency, receive ongoing technical support, and gain other valuable experience. ”
