Author/Source: Yaha Coal Chemical Industry. Date: 2018-03-01. Clicks: 76. On March 1, Honeywell announced that Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Jiangsu Sierbang”) has successfully adopted its UOP methanol-to-olefins (MTO) plant and brought it into operation. The facility meets all performance requirements, with an annual production capacity of 833,000 tons; it is currently the largest methanol-to-olefins plant in the world. Honeywell UOP’s first advanced methanol-to-olefins plant was put into operation at Whiting Energy in 2013. On March 1, Honeywell announced that Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. had successfully adopted Honeywell UOP’s methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology and brought the plant into operation successfully. The facility meets all performance requirements, with an annual production capacity of 833,000 tons; it is currently the largest methanol-to-olefins plant in the world. The Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Base is located in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. It mainly produces propylene – a raw material used in the manufacture of clothing and fabrics – acrylonitrile – another material needed for producing automotive parts, safety helmets, and other hard plastic products – as well as high-performance polymers. The methanol-to-olefins plant that has been put into operation this time will also produce ethylene, the raw material for vinyl acetate ethylene copolymers, which are widely used in the manufacture of adhesives, blowing agents, medical equipment, photovoltaic cells, and other products. It can also produce C4 olefins, which are raw materials for butadiene; butadiene is one of the main ingredients used in the production of synthetic rubber. “The equipment put into operation by Jiangsu Sierbang is currently the largest single MTO unit in the world. ”Liu Maoshu, General Manager of Honeywell UOP in China, said, “In terms of scale and operational efficiency, Honeywell UOP’s advanced methanol-to-olefins technology holds a leading position in the industry.” ” Ethylene and propylene are the two most widely used raw materials in global plastic manufacturing, and they are traditionally derived from crude oil. The methanol-to-olefins technology can be used to produce ethylene and propylene from alternative feedstocks such as coal and natural gas, making it particularly suitable for regions like China that lack crude oil resources. The reason why Jiangsu Sierbang chose Honeywell UOP’s advanced methanol-to-olefins process technology is that this technology enables the highest yield of light olefins at the lowest production costs, operating costs, and catalyst usage. Furthermore, this device can produce not only ethylene and propylene but also C4 olefins. Honeywell UOP’s advanced methanol-to-olefins process technology combines UOP/Hydro’s methanol-to-olefins technology with Total/UOP’s olefin cracking technology, enabling a significant increase in output and efficiency in the use of feedstock. This process can extract methanol from coal or natural gas, which can then be converted into ethylene and propylene. At its core is Honeywell UOP’s patented catalyst, which can effectively adjust the ratio of propylene to ethylene production, enabling manufacturers to meet market demands more efficiently. Jiangsu Sierbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenghong Group, located in the Chemical Industry Park of Xuwei New Area in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. Upon full completion, the facility will cover a total area of around 500 hectares and be able to produce nearly 2.5 million tons per year of high-end petrochemical products that are in short supply in the industry.
