CHINA: LyondellBasell licenses Hostalen process for Shaanxi Yanchang’s HDPE project

LyondellBasell says it has granted Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yanan Energy and Chemical a Hostalen ACP (Advanced Cascade Process) technology license for a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant being built in China’s Shaanxi Province.

LyondellBasell’s Hostalen ACP has low manufacturing and investment costs for multi-modal HDPE and capacities of up to 450,000 t/y. “This is the largest capacity Hostalen ACP multi-modal process technology that we have ever licensed,” added Bob Patel, senior vice president of technology for LyondellBasell.

The new HDPE plant, for which capacity was not given, is scheduled to begin production in 2014.
