DES PLAINES, Ill., Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) announced today that PetroChina Guangdong
Petrochemical Company will adopt advanced heavy oil processing
technology from Honeywell UOP for its integrated petrochemical
complex in China. The new facility
will have an annual crude processing capacity of 20 million tons,
helping to meet a national energy security strategy while
transforming PetroChina Guangdong into a more fully integrated
petrochemicals supplier.
Honeywell UOP will provide a range of technology licenses,
engineering design, key equipment, and state-of-the-art catalysts
and adsorbents, operator training, technical services for startup
and continuing operation.
"This is the most economically sound solution for the scale and
complexity of PetroChina's operations," said Bryan Glover, vice president and general manager
for Honeywell UOP's Petrochemicals and Refining Technologies
business. "Our technologies will enable PetroChina Guangdong to
produce aromatics on a large scale because of its ability to
integrate refining operations with a full aromatics complex. We are
working to make it one of the most efficient plants in the
world."
The project includes a 3.7 million tons per annum (mtpa)
Unicracking™ hydrocracking unit, which converts heavy vacuum gas
oil into the raw materials for motor fuels and petrochemicals. The
facility also will include two Honeywell UOP CCR Platforming™
units, each with a capacity of 3.0 mtpa, to produce fuels and
aromatics, and hydrogen essential for other processes in the
plant.
In addition, the plant will have a 2.6 mpta Light Desorbent
Parex™ aromatics complex to produce high-purity paraxylene,
the primary component of many plastic resins, films and fibers.
This complex will be the largest single-train paraxylene unit in
the world. The aromatics block includes the UOP Sulfolane™, Isomar™
and Tatoray™ processes and a UOP Olefin Removal Process unit to
ensure maximum performance of the Parex process.
Honeywell UOP is the world's leading licensor of process
technology to produce aromatics. As of 2018, Honeywell licensed
more than 100 complexes and more than 700 individual process units
for production of aromatics, including more than 370 CCR
Platforming process units, 160 Sulfolane units, 80
Isomar units, 60 Tatoray units, and 100 Parex units
worldwide.
