Beijing—Lummus Technology’s Novolen technology has been selected by Lihuayi Weiyuan for a new polypropylene (PP) plant to be built in Shandong Province, China.

Lummus’ scope includes the technology license for the PP unit, as well as basic engineering, training and services.  A schedule for the project was not given.

“We are grateful for Lihuayi Weiyuan’s selection of No-volen, and proud to support our customer across the full value stream from propane feedstock to high-value polypropylene product,” said Lummus President and Chief Executive Leon de Bruyn.

“Our technology has proven to yield our customers sig-nificant CAPEX and OPEX advantages, coupled with the ability to produce a comprehensive range of high-performance polymers.”

Last year, Lihuayi Weiyuan also chose Lummus’ Catofin technology for a new 600,000-t/y propane dehydrogenation unit in China.
