UOP's technology selected by Sinochem to produce high-purity hydrogen

摘要

UOP LLC, announced on 1 May 2012 that it had been selected by Sinochem to provide technology to purify hydrogen at a new refinery in China. Sinochem Quanzhou Petrochemical Co Ltd will use two UOP Polybed PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Systems to produce high-purity hydrogen at its new refinery. The hydrogen will be used for the production of clean transportation fuels, including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel, in the new 12 M tonne/y refinery. Refineries use hydrogen in the hydrocracking process to convert heavy oils to lighter, higher-value products such as transportation fuels.
