ABOUT JILIN CONNELL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Jilin Connell Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
was established in November of 2006
with operations in
the Jilin Economic and Technology Development Zone.
The company’s main products currently include
aniline, nitrobenzene, nitric acid
and synthetic ammonia.
It also operates
a 60,000-cubic meter per hour coal gasification unit.
ABOUT METHANOL TO OLEFINS PROCESS
Honeywell UOP’s Advanced MTO process
combines
the UOP/Hydro MTO process and
the Total/UOP Olefin Cracking Process
to significantly increase yields and feedstock efficiency.
The process converts
methanol from coal and natural gas
into ethylene and propylene.
At the heart of the technology are
UOP’s proprietary catalysts,
which make it possible to efficiently adjust
the ratio of propylene and ethylene produced
so operators can most effectively meet demand
for those products.
In addition, the Advanced MTO process
offers the lowest operating cost,
quick and efficient start-up
and operational reliability.
DETAILS
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) UOP announced today
that China’s Jilin Connell Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
has selected its
Advanced Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) process
to tap domestic coal resources
to produce ethylene and propylene,
the essential ingredients for making plastics.
Jilin Connell is the ninth company to license
the Honeywell UOP technology, which produces
superior yields at lower cost
compared to competing technologies.
The new plant, scheduled for completion in 2017,
will be located in Jilin City in China’s Jilin Province,
and will convert domestic sources of methanol
into 300 kmta of ethylene and propylene.
The new plant’s offtake will be supplied
to ethylene oxide and propylene oxide manufacturers
currently operating in the same industrial park.
Mike Millard,
Vice President and General Manager
of UOP’s Process Technology and Equipment business.
“Honeywell UOP’s Advanced MTO technology
is a proven process in China,
which is expected to invest
more than $100 billion
in coal-to-chemicals technology
in the next five years,”
“This technology has the highest yield
of ethylene and propylene
with the lowest consumption of methanol
and catalysts, as well as
the lowest operating and capital costs
of any methanol-to-olefins solution.”
