中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工休斯敦和伦敦7月21日消息,全球最大之一的塑料、化工和炼油公司利安德巴赛尔公司7月21日宣布最终投资决定将在休斯敦地区新建全球最大的环氧丙烷(PO)和叔丁醇(TBA)装置。该项目估计成本大约为24亿美元,是公司历史上最大的单笔投资。该项目的建设高峰期预计将创建2500个就业岗位,在建成投产后将提供大约160个永久性的就业岗位。
该装置投产后预计每年将生产10亿磅(47万吨)的PO和22亿磅(100万吨)的TBA。PO主要用于生产寝具、家具、地毯、涂料、建筑材料和粘合剂等,而TBA将用于生产二醚基含氧燃料、甲基叔丁基醚(MTBE)和乙基叔丁基醚(ETBE)。MTBE和ETBE均是高辛烷值汽油组份,可以帮助汽油燃烧的更加清洁和减少汽车的尾气排放。
利安德巴赛尔计划向国内和全球客户出售PO及衍生物产品,而含氧燃料主要将出售至拉美和亚洲市场。一部分TBA将以高纯度异丁烯的形式留在国内市场用于轮胎和润滑油生产。
利安德巴赛尔已经完成了前端工程设计工作,并收到了所需的环境许可。该项目的场址准备工作正在进行中,建设工作预计在明年下半年开始。利安德巴赛尔公司预计该项目将在2021年中期完成。 庞晓华 摘译自 烃加工 原文如下: LyondellBasell to build world’s largest PO/TBA plant in Texas LyondellBasell, one of the world’s largest plastics, chemicals and refining companies, today announced the final investment decision to build the world’s largest propylene oxide (PO) and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) plant in the Houston area. The project is estimated to cost approximately $2.4 B, representing the single-largest capital investment in the company’s history. At the peak of construction, the project is expected to create up to 2,500 jobs and approximately 160 permanent positions when operational. Once in operation, the plant will produce an anticipated 1 B pounds (470,000 mt) of PO and 2.2 B pounds (1 MMmt) of TBA annually. PO is used in the manufacture of bedding, furniture, carpeting, coatings, building materials and adhesives, while the TBA will be converted to two ether-based oxyfuels, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE). Both MTBE and ETBE are high-octane gasoline components that help gasoline burn cleaner and reduce emissions from automobiles. LyondellBasell plans to sell the PO and derivative products to both domestic and global customers, while the oxyfuels will be primarily sold into Latin America and Asia. A portion of the TBA will remain in the domestic market in the form of high purity isobutylene which is used in tires and lubricants. The company has completed front-end engineering design work and received the required environmental permits. Site preparation is underway and construction is expected to begin during the second half of 2018. It is anticipated the project will be completed by the middle of 2021.
