Honeywell to provide process technology, engineering design, key equipment, catalysts and adsorbents Des Plaines, Ill., August 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell UOP announced today that China National Petroleum Corporation Guangdong Petrochemical Company (hereinafter referred to as "CNPC Guangdong Petrochemical") will use Honeywell UOP's advanced heavy oil processing technology in its refining and chemical integration project in China. Once put into operation, the new plant's annual crude oil processing capacity is expected to reach 20 million tons, helping to promote * * The energy security strategy also helps PetroChina Guangdong Petrochemical transform into a highly integrated petrochemical product supplier.
The project includes a Unicracking hydrocracking unit with an annual output of 3.7 million tons, and two UOP CCR Platforming platinum reforming units with an annual output of 3 million tons. Unicracking hydrocracking can convert heavy vacuum wax oil into automotive fuel and petrochemical feedstock, and CCR Platforming platinum reforming is used to produce fuels and aromatics, as well as hydrogen necessary for other processes in the plant. The plant also plans to invest in a light desorbent (LD) Parex? aromatics complex with an annual output of 2.6 million tons for the production of high-purity paraxylene. Paraxylene is a major ingredient in the manufacture of many plastic resins, films and fibers. After being put into operation, the single-set scale of this device will rank among the world's leading ones. In addition, the aromatics complex unit also includes UOP Sulfolane aromatics extraction, Isomar isomerization and Tatoray toluene disproportionation processes, as well as UOP olefin removal process units to ensure that the Parex adsorption separation process continues to operate in good condition. Honeywell UOP is the world's leading licensor of aromatics production process technology. As of 2018, Honeywell UOP has authorized more than 100 aromatics complex units and more than 700 independent aromatics production units around the world, including more than 370 CCR Platforming process units, more than 160 Sulfolane units, more than 80 Isomar units, more than 60 Tatoray units and more than 100 Parex units.
There are many large domestic projects, and there are also many international projects.
