Davy Process Technology (DPT) is pleased to announce that it has contracted with Jilin Fuel Alcohol Company of Jilin City, China (JFA) to provide its licensed process technology for ethyl acetate.

This award winning technology which uses only bio-ethanol as the feedstock will be employed in a new 50,000 mtpa plant that will be built alongside the JFA world-scale ethanol facility.

This is the second licence for the DPT Ethyl Acetate process in China and it confirms the cost effectiveness of this technology to convert a regenerable feedstock into a bio-degradable industrial solvent without a net addition of carbon dioxide to the environment.

Ethyl Acetate technology won the Kirkpatrick Honour Award for process innovation in 2003 and the Crystal Faraday Award for Green Technology in 2005.

Davy Process Technology has a global business in chemicals technology development and technology licensing.

The company has its headquarters in London, a company in Switzerland and a Technology Centre in Stockton-on-Tees, UK.

It owns a range of proprietary process technologies including methanol, gas conversion, butanediol, natural and synthetic detergent alcohols, oxo alcohols, industrial amines, ethyl acetate and fertilisers.
