SHANGHAI,
Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that Hengli
Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery
Co., Ltd. will use Callidus advanced flares and low-nitrogen oxides
(NOx) burner technology at its refinery and petrochemicals complex,
one of the largest in China, at
Changxing Island in Dalian
City.
Honeywell will provide a 5,000 ton-per-hour flare system
that will be the largest in Asia.
In addition, Honeywell will provide more than 1,400 Callidus®
low-NOx burners to provide heat for refinery processes, as well as
process design and procurement services, key mechanical equipment
and instrumentation.
"Callidus' advanced burner technology helps refineries and
petrochemical plants reduce NOx emissions, better control carbon
monoxide emissions and achieve higher fuel efficiency, while our
low-VOC flare technology provides excellent combustion
performance," said Henry Liu, vice
president and general manager of Honeywell UOP China. "These
technologies offer excellent economics and will help Hengli comply
with stricter environmental regulations in China."
Under the Chinese government's Emission Standard of
Pollutants for the Petroleum Refining Industry, emissions of
nitrogen oxides from industry furnaces are required to drop 33
percent, from 150 milligrams per cubic meter in 2015 to less than
100 this year. These pollutants are a primary cause of acid rain
and increased surface ozone concentration, which have serious and
direct impacts on public health and the environment.
Honeywell UOP's Callidus low-NOx burner technology and
customized burners will allow Hengli Petrochemical to reduce NOx
emissions to half the limit prescribed under the new emission
control regulation. The burners are customized to meet requirements
of all types of applications at Hengli, including refinery heaters,
reformers, ethylene crackers, and CCR (continuous catalytic
reforming) and propane dehydrogenation process heaters.
"Hengli Petrochemical is committed to
becoming one of the best petrochemical complexes in the world, and
advanced flares and burners are essential to that mission," said
Chen Xinhua, vice chairman of Hengli Petrochemical
Company. "We chose Honeywell UOP
Callidus as the sole supplier for all burners in the complex
and the flare system for the refinery because these technologies
meet our criteria for performance and
environmental requirements."
Honeywell recently expanded its China combustion test
facility to evaluate the performance of flares. The
center, located in Luoyang in Henan
Province, is China's only
center capable of testing flare emissions for volatile organic
compounds, or VOCs.
Hengli Group, founded in 1994, manufactures
petrochemicals, polyester, and advanced materials, with operations
in weaving, thermal power, machinery, finance, hotels and real
estate. In 2010, the company built the Hengli Petrochemical
(Dalian) Refinery Co., Ltd.
Hengli Petrochemical is one of the
largest refinery and petrochemical
projects in China, with a
processing capacity of 20 million tons per year and more than 25
processes in operation.
As part of Honeywell UOP, Callidus Technologies provides
total solutions for process heater burners, flares, flare gas
recovery systems, thermal oxidizers and selective catalytic
reduction units.
