Technip has recently entered into a contract to supply its proprietary ethylene technology, Process Design Package, technical services and proprietary equipment to SP Olefins Co. Ltd, a subsidiary of SP Chemicalsfor a 650 KTA grassroots gas cracker. Located in Taixing, Jiangsu Province, China, the plant will use low cost ethane and propane from North America. It will be part of SP Olefins 1100 KTA Light Hydrocarbon Utilization Project.
The project will be executed by Technipâs operating center in Houston, Texas, USA. Stan Knez, President, Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, said: âTechnipâs proven ethane cracking technology and track record of recent gas cracker awards provide a solid foundation for this plant, which will be the first gas cracking ethylene plant in China. We also take pride in our long relationship with SP Chemicals, which started with an Ethylbenzene and Styrene Monomer plant that adopted Badger proprietary technology and has been running very well since it started up in 2013.â?
