ABOUT LYONDELLBASELL TECHNOLOGY
DETAILS
LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) today announced that
Shaanxi Coal Yulin Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd.
has selected LyondellBasell’s
Spherizone and Lupotech T technologies.
The technologies will be used in
the Jingbian Chemical Industrial Park
in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China .
The Spherizone process is the newest and most advanced
polypropylene technology expanding the product portfolio
beyond the traditional range of polypropylene grades.
Unlike other PP process technologies it also allows
for the production of entirely new families
of propylene-based polymers using
its unique multi-zone circulating reactor system.
The Yulin plant will be the fourteenth plant in the world
to be licensed under the Spherizone technology
since its commercial launch in 2006,
representing more than 4 million tons of annual PP capacity.
Lupotech T, with its high conversion rates
and effective heat recovery system, offers customers
in addition to its economic advantage, fast grade changes
and a high on-stream factor.
This makes Lupotech T today’s technology of choice
for the world-scale production of
LDPE and EVA copolymers.
Dan Coombs,
Executive Vice President Global Manufacturing,
Refining, Projects and Technology at LyondellBasell
“The Spherizone technology enables polypropylene producers
to expand their business and capture additional value
through product differentiation,”
“Lupotech T is the clear market leader
in high pressure tubular LDPE technology offering
low operating and investment costs to our customers.”
A leading executive
at Shaanxi Coal Yulin Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd.
“Spherizone and Lupotech T process technologies
were selected following an extensive evaluation process
and demonstrated that they are the state-of-the-art technologies
in their respective markets.”
