Shandong Luqing Petrochemical Commissions First C4 Oleflex Unit
“The new unit started up only 20 months after the project kick-off, about a year earlier than a typical project of this size, due to the use of pre-engineered components,” said Mike Millard, vice president and general manager of Honeywell UOP’s Process Technology and Equipment business unit. “This enabled Shandong Luqing to begin producing isobutylene much sooner, greatly improving project economics.”
In addition to licensing, Honeywell UOP provided the engineering design, catalysts, adsorbents, specialty equipment, staff training and technical service for the project.
The C4 Oleflex process uses catalytic dehydrogenation to convert isobutane to isobutylene, the primary ingredient for making high-octane fuel and synthetic rubber used in tires, healthcare supplies and other consumer products. The technology consistently delivers superior performance due to its reliability, low energy usage, high isobutylene yields, and a fully recyclable platinum alumina-based catalyst system using proven continuous catalyst regeneration (CCR) technology.
