KBR has been awarded two contracts by Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co. Ltd (Baofeng Energy) for its 500 000 tpy coal to olefins project and 500 000 tpy C2-C5 comprehensive utilisation project to be built in Ningdong Town, Lingwu City, Ningxia, China.
Under the terms of the contracts, KBR will provide process technology licensing and process design packages for this project, which will have a production capacity of 1 million tpy of olefins. Once completed, the complex will be the largest single-train methanol to olefins (MTO) plant in the world.
KBR will use a combination of its SCORE™ steam cracking and MTO recovery technologies to achieve Baofeng Energy's project objectives of highest yields and lowest capital investment.
The SCORE steam cracking unit will convert the ethane and propane feedstock into ethylene and propylene, which are later separated and further purified in the MTO recovery section to ensure the quality needed to produce polymer grade ethylene and propylene.
"We are proud that Baofeng Energy has selected KBR for this breakthrough world-scale MTO complex," said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology Solutions. "This award is a reaffirmation of our continued commitment to helping our clients maintain their competitive edge through technological advancements and delivering the best return on their investments.
