CB&I has secured a contract from Hebei Haiwei Group for the license and basic engineering design of a polypropylene unit to be built in Jingxian, Hebei Province, China. The unit will use CB&I's Novolentechnology to produce 200 metric Mtpy of polypropylene. CB&I previously announced the license and engineering design of a propane dehydrogenation unit, which uses the company’s CATOFIN technology, at the same location.
"CB&I is pleased to have been selected as the polypropylene licensor for the project," said Daniel McCarthy, president of CB&I's Technology operating group. "This award builds on our relationship with Hebei Haiwei as it follows the successful development of the CATOFIN propane dehydrogenation unit."
