Shandong Ruize Chemical Technology Co. Ltd. has commissioned a new propane dehydrogenation unit (PDH) unit at its refining complex in Zibo City, Shandong Province, China.

Equipped with Lummus Technology LLC’s proprietary CATOFIN PDH technology for production of propylene, the new 300,000-tonnes/year unit comes as part of Shandon Ruize’s plan to transition the refinery into a petrochemical complex, Lummus said on June 29.

Startup of the unit follows Shandong Ruize’s award in 2018 to Lummus for delivery of technology licensing, basic engineering design, training, and commissioning services on the new PDH unit, which officially began in May, the service provider said.
