Dear all,
My company is planning to build a 150KPA polypropylene plant next to a refinery (propylene feedstock is the byproduct of the RFCC unit in the refinery). We're in the process of choosing a technology from following processes: Spheripol (Basell, Italy), Unipol (Dow, Germany), and those from ABB Lummus (USA), BP (UK), Mitsui (Japan).
The products can be both monopolymer and copolymer.
With your experienece, please tell me the advantage/disadvantage of each technology and your suggestions.
Thank you very much

Hi Soonerchatter,
I am in a PP plant of 125KPA. We use Sheripol process. It is convenient for to change over between homo,copolymer, Hi impact copoly and terpoly too. We use a tubular reactor. So far(for 15 years) no problems. The troughput can also be increased,its an added advantage.
Now we are facing a problem recently. Read my post in the forum.
Do reply for more details, for mutual helps......
