Lummus Technology has collaborated with Dongyang Environment Group with an aim to deploy its advanced plastics recycling technology in South Korea. The technology is capable of converting plastic waste into high-value chemicals and feedstocks.

Under a MOU signed between both the parties, Cummins and Chevron will further expand their collaboration by working towards hydrogen, natural gas and other lower carbon fuel value chains.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of July 2023’ from all over the world. Right from Petrofac securing a 700-million-dollar EPC contract to Cepsa developing the world’s first production plant for renewable isopropanol, find out all the projects making headlines here.

BASF has completed the production scale-up of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for Svante Technologies, a Canada-based carbon capture and removal solutions provider. The MOFs will be used as solid sorbents for carbon capture projects.

Covestro has launched its first dedicated mechanical recycling compounding line for polycarbonates at its integrated site in Shanghai, China. The firm has begun operations at the line which is expected to produce over 25,000 tons of premium-quality polycarbonates and blends.

Technip Energies has been selected by Hycc to develop Djewels, a green hydrogen project in the Netherlands. Mcphy’s innovative ‘Augmented Mclyzer’ technology will also be used for the project to produce up to 3,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from renewable power and water.

Located in China, Clariant’s new production facility for flame retardants comprises of a first production line for which an amount of 66-million-dollars has been invested. The move is expected to provide local customers with innovative and sustainable Exolit OP flame retardants which will support the growth of engineering plastics applications in E-mobility and electrical & electronic segments.

Takasago Hydrogen Park, the world's first integrated hydrogen validation facility has entered full-scale operation at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ Takasago Machinery Works in Japan. The facility has begun producing electrolysis hydrogen at the site.

The technical implementation of Covestro’s unique process is being carried out on a pilot-scale in Leverkusen, Germany. Under this chemical recycling process, plastics can be converted back into their monomers so that they can be fed back into the production process as alternative raw materials.

Under a MOU signed between LG Chem and GS Caltex, both the firms will work together to accelerate the commercialization of the world's first 3HP eco-friendly bio material.
