KBR Inc. has announced that it has been awarded contracts for a technology license, basic engineering design services and proprietary catalyst supply by Lihuayi Lijin Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. (Lihuayi), for a new olefins production unit in Dongying, China.
The unit will use KBR's Catalytic Olefins Technology (K-COT™) and Selective Cracking Optimum Recovery (SCORE™) Technology.
K-COT converts olefinic, paraffinic or mixed streams into propylene and ethylene. In combination with SCORE technology, it will enable Lihuayi to further integrate their refinery towards petrochemicals.
Lihuayi has previously implemented KBR's phenol technology at its site in Dongying.
