Changyi/PR China – The new grassroots plant of Shandong Chengtai Chemical Industry will use the Catofin dehydrogenation technology from CB&I and Clariant’s catalyst to process iso-butane for the production of 114,000 metric tons per year of isobutylene. “The Catofin technology has been selected for 20 projects in the last five years,” said Daniel McCarthy, President of CB&I’s Technology operating group.
“The first commercial propane dehydrogenation unit in China was based on Catofin technology and has been in successful operation since October 2013,” highlights Stefan Heuser, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Catalysts of Clariant.
