GTC Technology licenses Isomalk-2â„ technologies to Shandong Sincier Chemical Group

GTC Technology will provide its licensed Isomalkâ„ technologies to Shandong Sincier Chemical Group (SSCG) for a new refinery and petrochemicals complex in Dongying, Shandong province, People’s Republic of China. Isomalk-2â„ , a light naphtha isomerization technology, will be used to produce an isomerate gasoline blend stock component for the production of clean fuels with higher added value at the refinery. Isomalk-3â„ , an n-butane isomerization technology, will be used to produce isobutane that will be sent downstream to a newly designed CB&I CATOFIN® unit for the production of isobutylene.

“This will be the first light naphtha isomerization unit in China based on a high-performance non-chlorinated SI-2 mixed metal oxide catalyst, and the first non-chlorinated n-butane isomerization process unit in the world based on the SI-3 catalyst” said Joseph C. Gentry, GTC Director of Global Licensing. “This marks the wide acceptance of the Isomalkâ„ technologies and we are confident that SSCG will enjoy the robust, reliable performance of the processes.”

Isomalk-2â„ and Isomalk-3â„ are part of the Isomalkâ„ family of technologies, which also includes Isomalk-4â„ , a unique process for C7 paraffin isomerization.

GTC’s scope of work for these projects includes licensing, basic engineering design, proprietary catalyst supply and technical service for the hydrotreating sections, C4 and C5/C6 isomerization units and the design of the naphtha and reformate splitters.
