CONFERENCE SYNOPSIS

Olefins Technology, KBR Technology spoke on 'KBR's Propane Dehydrogenation Technology (K-PRO) meets market-driven on-purpose propylene demand'. He explained about the orthoflow reactor being commercially proven. Also Higher conversion will lead to lower propane recycle and higher operating pressure. Higher selectivity will lead to higher catalyst activity. The opex will decrease by 10-20% and the catalyst loss will be minimum. Mr. Girish Kale, Sales Manager, Speciality Catalysts, W.R. Grace delivered on 'Innovative Catalyst Systems in Value-Driven UNIPOL® PP Technology'. He spoke about the Polyolefins Technology & UNIPPAC (Advanced Process Control). There are 58 running plant globally and any modifications in plant/process are not required. The Polyolefins is a non- phthalate technology will lighter, faster, cleaner and clearer product capability. It is a 6th Generation Z-N Catalyst.
