UOP’s C3 Oleflex technology converts propane to propylene using catalytic dehydrogenation. It is claimed to offer steady-state operations, improved operating flexibility, and high on-stream reliability through independent reaction and regeneration sections.
Honeywell UOP’s process technology and equipment business vice-president and general manager Bryan Glover said: “This Oleflex unit will use low-priced and widely available propane to make propylene, which can be made into polypropylene, one of the most important materials for making plastics.
“This new capacity will enable Vietnam to meet its own rapidly growing domestic demand for plastics, supplanting propylene products that it currently imports.”
According to Honeywell, UOP will offer technology licensing for the Oleflex process, the process design package, proprietary and non-proprietary equipment, on-site operator training, technical services for startup and continuing operation, as well as proprietary catalysts and adsorbents.
