China’s Liaoning Bora Petrochemical Co., Ltd, has selected LyondellBasell’s propriety polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) technologies for its three new plants in China.
Headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, LyondellBasell announced 20 July that the new plants will be constructed in Liaoning Bora’s new petrochemical complex in Panjin, Liaoning Province, China.
The complex will include two polypropylene units with a combined annual capacity of 600 kilotonne per annum (ktpa) and will use LyondellBasell’s Spherizone and Spheripol PP process technologies.
The polypropylene plants will be complemented with a 350ktpa high density polyethylene (HDPE) plant operating on the Hostalen ACP process technology.
“LyondellBasell offers differentiating processes that enable our customers in this region to remain competitive and responsive to market dynamics,” said Dan Coombs, executive vice president global manufacturing, refining, projects and technology at LyondellBasell.
