China’s CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals Company (CSPC) have selected LyondellBasell’s Spherizone technology for a 500,000 t/y year plant to be installed at their joint venture complex in Huizhou, Guangdong province.

“This represents the second Spherizone line from a total of five polyolefin lines, licensed from LyondellBasell at the Huizhou site,” said Neil Nadalin, director, global licensing and services for LyondellBasell. “Spherizone process technology continues to demonstrate the ability to produce differentiated polymer grades in the highly competitive Chinese market, which remains a key requirement for our customers.”

A second contract for Spherizone technology came from Stavian Quang Yen Petrochemical for a 600,000 t/y PP plant to be built in Quang Ninh province, Vietnam. Nadalin said the plant will be Stavian’s first polyolefin facility, allowing them to serve the fast-growing Vietnamese market.
