Polyacetal Copolymer resin plant project completed
Aker Kvaerner China has successfully completed the Asahi/DuPont Polyacetal Copolymer (POM) resin plant project in China, on schedule, within budget and with zero recordable injuries
This is the sixth Polyolefins project that the company is currently executing.
Johan Cnossen, President of AK Process, said, "We are delighted to be working with the ShenHua Group again on this new project.
We have a strong project record and considerable local knowledge of working in the Chinese market.
Both technologies are proven to be highly competitive.
And, having worked across nearly 40 of the UNIPOL PP or PE projects around the world, Aker Kvaerner has the experience to execute this project to a high standard".
UNIPOL PP Technology from the Dow Chemical Company offers a process that is easy to operate, simple to customise, highly reliable, and provides high product consistency.
This high process flexibility combines with a broad product capability, to deliver a very competitive solution.
Indeed, the more than 35 UNIPOL PP reactor lines in operation around the world consistently rank among their owner's most efficient and reliable.
Aker Kvaerner had a major role in the engineering, procurement and construction of 12 of these PP reactor lines, making the company one of the most experienced UNIPOL PP process contractors in the industry.
The Univation UNIPOL PE process offers a high quality, broad product range, combined with the ability to scale up or down or change product mix.
The process also offers lower capital and operating costs.
Aker Kvaerner had a major role in the engineering, procurement and construction of 26 of the more than 100 UNIPOL PE reactor lines either in operation or under construction around the world - and again the operating lines rank highly for efficiency and reliability.
Aker Kvaerner also provided project management consultancy services for the ShenHua Group Coal Liquification project at Majiata, Inner Mongolia, which will be mechanically completed in the second half of 2007.
The project was the first commercial scale plant incorporating direct coal liquefaction, a process that involves the conversion of coal to hydrocarbon liquids via hydrogenation.
