UOP Transfers Methanol to Olefin Technology to Eurochem

Chemical Online: UOP LLC is Honeywell, which announced on January 30 that Viva Methanol (a subsidiary of Eurochem) has selected UOP/Hydro's MTO process technology And Total Petrochemicals/UOP's olefin cracking process technology produces light olefins from natural gas-derived methanol at a new facility at Nigeria's Viba Polymers, which is the base material for the production of plastics.
This project is the first industrial-scale installation using methanol to olefins and olefin cracking technology. The facility was built in the Lagos Bonded Zone in Nigeria and will use natural gas-derived methanol to produce olefins. Natural gas is an attractive raw material, with cost advantages, and abundant reserves in this area.
The new plant will produce 1.3 million tons per year of ethylene and propylene for the production of polyethylene and polypropylene, which are used to produce packaging plastics, pipes, carpets, films and other products. UOP will transfer technology, provide basic designs, catalysts, adsorbents, special equipment and technical support. The new device is expected to be put into operation in 2012.
Chairman of Viva Methanol Company stated: "Methanol to Olefin technology allows us to use Nigerian natural gas, which is more cost-effective than conventional olefin production using crude-derived materials. The plant produces 10,000 tons of methanol per day and is the largest in the world, UOP. Technology helps us convert methanol into high-value olefins to support the growing demand for plastics."
The manager of the UOP petrochemicals business department said: "We are very pleased to see Viva Methanol's significant progress in this project. The natural gas olefins route will provide petrochemical producers with a great competitive advantage."
UOP had previously done a basic design for this project in 2003, but this project can now take advantage of the advances in methanol, methanol to olefins and olefin cracking technology to achieve greater economies of scale. The productivity and efficiency of this unit is unsurpassed. of.
Methanol to Olefin technology was developed jointly by UOP and Hydro-Norway, Norway. This technology converts methanol to ethylene and propylene. This process uses UOP's patented catalyst. It has been proven that this process yields high yields with fewer by-products. The amount of product can be flexibly adjusted, allowing manufacturers to adjust production to match market demand. The olefin cracking process was developed jointly by UOP and Total Petrochemicals, and can be integrated with the methanol-to-olefins process to increase the production of ethylene and propylene in the plant and reduce hydrocarbon by-products.
Viva Methanol Company is a subsidiary of Eurochem Corporation in Nigeria. Eurochem is a non-listed company headquartered in Singapore.
