Honeywell International Inc (HON) said that Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC) will use a range of process technologies from Honeywell UOP for the expansion of its refining and petrochemical complex at Al-Zour, Kuwait.
Honeywell UOP will supply technology licenses, design services, key equipment, and state-of-the-art catalysts and adsorbents to produce clean-burning fuels, paraxylene, propylene and other petrochemicals.
The project includes 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) resid fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) complex with ethylene and propylene recovery and a 24,000 bpd Honeywell UOP Selectfining unit to produce low-sulphur gasoline.
Two Honeywell UOP Merox units will be used to treat propane for propylene production, and isobutane to make clean-fuels blending components, including methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) produced by a UOP Ethermax unit. Also included is a Butamer unit to convert normal butane to isobutane.
The contract also includes a 66,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) CCR Platforming unit with a 74,000-bpd naphtha hydrotreater to make gasoline blendstock, and an LD Parex aromatics complex – including the Honeywell UOP Sulfolane, Isomar and Tatoray processes – to make 1.4 million metric tonnes per year of paraxylene, a primary ingredient in plastics.
