KBR has secured a contract from Hyundai Engineering Company to supply proprietary equipment for the first modular plant for its leading advanced plastics recycling technology Hydro-PRT. The new unit will be installed at LG Chem's Chronos Project in Dangjin, South Korea.

Graforce has launched a new technology called methane electrolysis (plasmalysis) which is capable of converting LNG into CO2-free hydrogen. This technology only requires one-fifth the energy as compared to water electrolysis to produce the same amount of hydrogen.

Occidental’s first large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in Texas, USA will be using Siemens Energy compressors to capture up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. Occidental’s subsidiary 1PointFive will be developing the project.

Strategic Biofuels has selected Johnson Matthey (JM) and BP’s joint technology for its Louisiana Green Fuels project (LGF) in Louisiana, USA. The project aims to convert 1 million tons of forestry waste feedstock into renewable diesel and is expected to produce 31.8 million gallons of biofuels annually.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of March 2023’ from all over the world. Right from Lyondell Basell starting up the world’s largest PO, TBA facility to Indian Oil developing a mega petrochemical complex, find out all the projects making headlines here.

The separation of liquid phases is the supreme discipline for centrifuges. Continuous processes and modular concepts bring more efficiency to extraction and separation and also give digitalization a boost.

Neste, Idemitsu Kosan, Chimei and Mitsubishi Corporation have come together to develop a unique renewable plastics supply chain which will make use of bio-based hydrocarbons (Neste Re) for the production of styrene monomer (bio-SM), and its mass balanced renewable plastics derivatives including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (bio-ABS) for the production of renewable plastics.

BP Trinidad and Tobago has successfully begun gas production at its Cassia C platform which is expected to produce about 200-300 million standard cubic feet of gas daily. The project will enable the firm to produce low pressure gas resources from the Greater Cassia Area.

Developed by Technip Energies and Clariant Catalysts, the enhanced annular reforming tube for hydrogen (Earth) technology is a recuperative reforming technology which helps to lower CO2 emissions and produce energy efficient hydrogen. In an interview with PROCESS Worldwide, Stefan Gebert, Product Manager, Clariant Catalysts as well as Stéphane Walspurger, Product Development & New Technologies Manager, Technip Energies jointly explain this technology along with its numerous advantages.

Anellotech has demonstrated its new direct route to light olefins and BTX from conversion of mixed plastic waste. The firm’s Plas-Tcat catalytic pyrolysis technology was used for the demonstration which was carried out in a 0.5 tpd pilot plant.
