Honeywell heads to Brunei with aromatics deal
08/04/2013
Brunei Hengyi Industries, a subsidiary of China's Zhejiang Hengyi Group, will use several of Honeywell's technologies to produce aromatics, which are key materials used in the production of synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon as well as polymers, plastics and resins.
"As the demand for aromatics grows in the region, producers are looking for ways to maximise product yields while reducing production costs and minimising investment costs," said Pete Piotrowski, general manager of UOP’s process technology and equipment business unit. "UOP's integrated aromatics technology will provide the lowest energy consumption, cost of production and overall investment cost."
The project, to be located in Pulau Muara Besar, is expected to be one of the largest aromatics complexes in the world.
Hengyi Industries is headquartered in Hangzhou, China. The company manufactures purified terephthalic acid, polyester spinning and other chemical fibres. It is one of the largest suppliers of textile raw materials in China, ranking among the top 500 enterprises in the country.
