McDermott International has announced the recent successful start-up of the world’s largest catalytic dehydrogenation plant, which is located at Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co., Ltd.’s site in Liaoning Province, China, and uses McDermott’s Lummus CATOFIN® technology.
This single-train dehydrogenation unit uses a CATOFIN catalyst and heat generating material (HGM) from Lummus Technology’s catalyst partner, Clariant, to process 500 000 tpy of propane and 800 000 tpy of isobutene for the production of propylene and isobutylene.
