MOSCOW (MRC) -- CB&I has announced it has been awarded a contract by Zhejiang Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd. for the license and engineering design of a single-train 220 kta diphenyl carbonate (DPC) unit, based on Versalis technology, for a refining and petrochemical complex in China, Hydrocarbonprocessing.
CB&I previously announced the CDAlky license and two Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) hydrocracking units for the project. CLG is a joint venture between Chevron and CB&I.
"CB&I appreciates the opportunity to provide an additional technology to ZPC's complex in China, making it the largest single-train DPC plant in the world," said Philip K. Asherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This award underscores the confidence ZPC has in us as a technology leader for the region."
As MRC informed previously, in February 2017, CB&I was also a contract by Dongguan Grand Resource Science & Technology Co. Ltd. for the license and engineering design of a grassroots propane dehydrogenation unit to be built in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China. The unit will use CB&I's CATOFIN catalytic dehydrogenation technology and Clariant's CATOFIN catalyst to produce 600,000 mtpy of propylene. This unit has been optimized to reduce equipment piece-count and lower propane consumption.
Besides, in March 2017, CB&I was awarded a substantial contract for the license, engineering design and catalyst supply for five proprietary technologies to be used in an integrated refining and petrochemical project in China. The complex will use BP Paraxylene OPEX advantaged crystallization technology exclusively licensed by CB&I, as well as technology for a vacuum gasoil hydrocracker, diesel hydrocracker, kerosene hydrotreater and delayed coker offered through Chevron Lummus Global (CLG). CLG is a JV between Chevron and CB&I.
