Sinopec Selects LP Oxo Technology For Anqing 2-EH, Butanol Project:: 25 Feb 2013 :: Shanghai - China Petrochemical International Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Sinopec, has selected LP Oxo technology licensed by Davy Process Technology (DPT) and Dow Chemical for a new 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) and butanol project in Anqing City, Anhui Province, China. The new LP Oxo unit, being built by Sinopec Corp. Anqing Co., will be designed to produce 100,000 t/y of 2-EH, 115,000 t/y of normal butanol and 23,000 t/y of iso-butanol. The plant will use the LP Oxo Selector 10 technology with liquid phase hydrogenation, which offers a high conversion of propylene to alcohols, low capital investment and easy operation. "We're confident that Sinopec has made the correct choice, as an LP Oxo alcohols plant enjoys low feedstock and energy requirements," said Faye Miller, oxygenated solvents licensing leader for Dow. DPT Managing Director Antoine Bordet noted that this "milestone project" is the fifth LP Oxo facility with Sinopec. "We have started the process design and look forward to working closely with Sinopec through subse-quent stages of the project to a successful start-up." A project schedule was not given. |
