Sinochem Hongrun lets contract to UOP for ionic liquids alkylation unit
Honeywell UOP announced that Sinochem Hongrun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. will license Honeywell UOP’s ISOALKY™ ionic liquids alkylation technology to produce cleaner-burning motor fuels at the operator’s 100,410-b/d refining and petrochemical complex in the Binhai Economic-Technological Development Area of Weifang City, Shandong Province, China.
Hongrun is the first petrochemicals manufacturer in China to license ISOALKY technology, a cost-effective solution for refining companies as an alternative to conventional liquid acid systems or solid catalyst systems to produce high-quality alkylate for clean-burning fuels.
Sinochem Hongrun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. produces and sells liquefied petroleum gas, diesel fuel, gasoline, asphalt, and lubricating oil. Headquartered in Qingzhou City, Weifang, China, Hongrun operates as a subsidiary of Sinochem Group.
Developed in conjunction with Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in 2016, the ISOALKY technology is the first successful liquid alkylation technology to be introduced in more than 75 years. The technology uses ionic liquids instead of conventional hydrofluoric or sulfuric acids as a catalyst to produce alkylate, a critical component for making high-octane motor fuels.
