China-based Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group Co. Ltd has awarded a contract to CB&I for the license and engineering design of a polypropylene line to be setup in Ningxia.
The Shenhua Ningxia unit will use CB&I's Novolen technology to produce 600,000 MTA of polypropylene.
CB&I said that there are already two units utilizing Novolen technology at the existing site, each with cascade and parallel production lines.
Once the new unit is set up, polypropylene capacity will rise to 1.6 million MTA at the plant and it will be able to produce the full range of polypropylene grades.
"Once the third polypropylene unit at Shenhua Ningxia's site is running, it will be the largest polypropylene site in China," said Daniel McCarthy, President of CB&I's Technology operating group.
Shenhua Ningxia had earlier awarded CB&I, contracts for the license and engineering design of the Olefins Conversion Technology, Comonomer Production Technology, CDHydro selective hydrogenation technology and CDIsis technology at the same complex. (AR)
