"We have a strong history and presence in China, and licensing two world-scale CATOFIN units to a repeat customer is a testament to Lummus' position and approach to the Chinese market," said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lummus Technology. "Our best-in-class CATOFIN technology, along with Clariant's catalysts, provide a highly reliable and low carbon route to propylene."
Each unit will have a production capacity of 600000 metric tpy for a total additional propylene production capacity of 1,200,000 metric tpy. This is the second CATOFIN PDH contract from Ningbo Kingfa. In 2011, Lummus licensed its CATOFIN technology for the first PDH unit at the same site.
"We are proud that our existing CATOFIN plant has demonstrated robust and reliable performance since its start up," said Mark Yang, Ningbo Kingfa's General Manager. "We value our collaboration with Lummus for the CATOFIN technology and the proven performance and technical support that they provide. In turn, selecting Lummus' technology for our Phase 2 and Phase 3 projects was a straight-forward decision."
