(hydracarbonprocessing) -- The new plant will use the Novolen advanced gas-phase polymerization technology for the production of the full scope of polypropylene homopolymers, random copolymers and impact copolymers. The 200,000 tpy polypropylene project is expected to start up operations in 2014.
CB&I on Tuesday was awarded a contract by Huating Coal Group for the license, basic engineering and related services for a polypropylene plant at the Huating industrial development area in China.
The plant will use the Novolen advanced gas-phase polymerization technology for the production of the full scope of polypropylene homopolymers, random copolymers and impact copolymers.
The plant will be part of an integrated 600,000 tpy coal-to-methanol project, which started production at the end of 2010.
The 200,000 tpy polypropylene plant is expected to start up in 2014.
