据烃加工网站4月26日消息 安克雷奇投资有限公司将使用霍尼韦尔UOP的C3 Oleflex™这项技术将为位于埃及苏伊士运河南端附近的Anchor Benitoite石油化工联合企业每年生产75万公吨聚合物级丙烯。丙烯是需求迅速增长的各种塑料产品的主要成分。
作为合同的一部分，霍尼韦尔将为工厂提供技术许可和基本工程设计，以及服务、设备、催化剂和吸附剂。这是UOP继此前在埃及和阿尔及利亚赢得C3 Oleflex设备之后，在北非获得的第三个合同。
安克雷奇投资有限公司创始人兼董事总经理Ahmed M. A. Moharram说：“PDH装置是本项目的重要生产装置，是整个工厂的上游丙烯生产装置，这突出了实施霍尼韦尔UOP公司久经考验且全球公认的丙烷脱氢技术的重要性。”
霍尼韦尔UOP工艺技术公司副总裁兼总经理劳拉·伦纳德说：“该地区塑料消费量的不断增加，造成丙烯的供需缺口不断扩大，丙烯历来是炼油燃料的副产品。我们的Oleflex技术可以通过从天然气或精炼过程中提取的丙烷生产专用丙烯来弥补这一差距。”
霍尼韦尔UOP公司的C3 Oleflex技术通过催化脱氢将丙烷转化为丙烯。与竞争对手的脱氢技术相比，该技术的设计具有较低的生产现金成本和较高的投资回报。其低能耗、低排放和完全可回收的铂-氧化铝基催化剂系统有助于将其对环境的影响降至最低。Oleflex技术的独立反应器和再生设计有助于最大限度地提高操作灵活性和在线可靠性。
自2011年以来，Oleflex技术已被选为全球71个脱氢项目，包括丙烷、异丁烷（iC4）和混合丙烷和异丁烷原料的应用。

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.
