據烴加工網站4月26日消息 安克雷奇投資有限公司將使用霍尼韋爾UOP的C3 Oleflex?這項技術將為位于埃及蘇伊士運河南端附近的Anchor Benitoite石油化工聯合企業每年生產75萬公噸聚合物級丙烯。丙烯是需求迅速增長的各種塑料產品的主要成分。

　　作為合同的一部分，霍尼韋爾將為工廠提供技術許可和基本工程設計，以及服務、設備、催化劑和吸附劑。這是UOP繼此前在埃及和阿爾及利亞贏得C3 Oleflex設備之后，在北非獲得的第三個合同。

　　安克雷奇投資有限公司創始人兼董事總經理Ahmed M. A. Moharram說：“PDH裝置是本項目的重要生產裝置，是整個工廠的上游丙烯生產裝置，這突出了實施霍尼韋爾UOP公司久經考驗且全球公認的丙烷脫氫技術的重要性。”

　　霍尼韋爾UOP工藝技術公司副總裁兼總經理勞拉·倫納德說：“該地區塑料消費量的不斷增加，造成丙烯的供需缺口不斷擴大，丙烯歷來是煉油燃料的副產品。我們的Oleflex技術可以通過從天然氣或精煉過程中提取的丙烷生產專用丙烯來彌補這一差距。”

　　霍尼韋爾UOP公司的C3 Oleflex技術通過催化脫氫將丙烷轉化為丙烯。與競爭對手的脫氫技術相比，該技術的設計具有較低的生產現金成本和較高的投資回報。其低能耗、低排放和完全可回收的鉑-氧化鋁基催化劑系統有助于將其對環境的影響降至最低。Oleflex技術的獨立反應器和再生設計有助于最大限度地提高操作靈活性和在線可靠性。

　　自2011年以來，Oleflex技術已被選為全球71個脫氫項目，包括丙烷、異丁烷（iC4）和混合丙烷和異丁烷原料的應用。

　　Honeywell to provide technology for propylene production in Egypt

　　Anchorage Investments Ltd. will use Honeywell UOP’s C3 Oleflex? technology to produce 750,000 metric tons per year of polymer-grade propylene for its new Anchor Benitoite petrochemicals complex in Suez, Egypt, near the southern terminus of the Suez Canal. Propylene is the primary component in a variety of plastic products that are rapidly growing in demand.

　　As part of the contract, Honeywell will provide technology licensing and basic engineering design, in addition to services, equipment, catalysts and adsorbents for the plant. This represents UOP’s third award for a C3 Oleflex unit in North Africa, following earlier wins in Egypt and Algeria.

　　“Anchor Benitoite’s PDH unit is an important production unit in the project; being the upstream propylene-producing unit for the whole complex.” said Ahmed M. A. Moharram, Founder and Managing Director of Anchorage Investments. “This underscores the significant importance of implementing Honeywell UOP’s well-proven and globally acknowledged propane dehydrogenation technology.”

　　“The increasing consumption of plastics in the region has created a growing gap between supply and demand for propylene, which has historically been a byproduct of refining fuels,” said Laura Leonard, vice president and general manager, Honeywell UOP Process Technologies. “Our Oleflex technology can bridge this gap by producing ‘on-purpose’ propylene from propane that is derived from natural gas or refining processes.”

　　Honeywell UOP’s C3 Oleflex technology converts propane to propylene through catalytic dehydrogenation. The technology is designed to have a lower cash cost of production and higher return on investment when compared to competing dehydrogenation technologies. Its low energy consumption, low emissions and fully recyclable, platinum-alumina-based catalyst system helps minimize its impact on the environment. The independent reactor and regeneration design of the Oleflex technology helps maximize operating flexibility and onstream reliability.

　　Oleflex technology has been selected for 71 dehydrogenation projects globally since 2011, including applications for propane, isobutane (iC4) and mixed propane and isobutane feeds.
