Wison Engineering Services Co. (Shanghai, China; www.wison.com), one of the leading chemical engineering, procurement and construction management (EPC) service providers in China, has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Wison Engineering Ltd., has continued to make headway in proprietary technology transfer in methanol-to-olefins (MTO) separation technology and strengthen its EPC services in the MTO sector, since its first successful commercialization of its patented technology in September 2013.
Most recently, Wison Engineering entered into an olefin separation technology licensing and engineering design contract for basic design and detailed design with Liaocheng Meiwu New Materials Tech.Corp. for an MTO unit with capacity of 300,000 metric tons per year (m.t./yr) for the company’s oxo raw-material optimization project.
In addition, Wison Engineering was recently awarded to an olefin separation technology licensing agreement and EPC contract by Shandong Better Clean Energy Co. for a 300,000-m.t./yr MTO unit. Upon the startup, the plant will become another project employing Wison Engineering and UOP’s MTO technology. The plant will also be designed and managed by Wison Engineering. The delivery of this project is expected to occur on April 30, 2016.
At present, there are eight MTO projects in China, which are either under construction or completed, that employ Wison Engineering’s proprietary MTO separation technology. These include Pucheng Clean Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 700,000-m.t./yr polyethylene production plant, and 680,000-m.t./yr new coal-based materials project, and also an MTO unit for Shenhua Coal to Liquid and Chemical Co., Ltd. .
