Linde and Univation Cooperate on Cracker Efficiency

Univation Technologies and Linde 's Engineering Division have signed an exclusive agreement to collaborate on technology to improve performance and cost efficiency in production of polyethylene resins. The joint effort, they say, will “deliver measurable benefits to resin producers globally.”

Under the agreement, which is non-exclusive for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) phase of Univation’s Unipol PE process projects, the two companies said they will work toward delivering streamlined technology, capital expenditure and operational expense reduction opportunities and improved quality in the early-stage design of new ethylene cracker and PE plants as well as retrofit projects.

As world-leading polyethylene technology licensor, Univation – since mid-2015 wholly owned by Dow Chemical – is constantly looking for ways to deliver more value for licensees, and the agreement with Linde allows it to take its solution-driven approach to the next level, covering the entire Unipol PE process platform including back-integration into cracker operations and improved economics for both new plant and retrofit projects,” said the company’s president, Steven F. Stanley.
