Dow Technology Licensing announced that China Petrochemical International Company Limited (a fully owned subsidiary of SINOPEC) has agreed to license METEOR LEC EO/EG process technology from Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, to build plants for SINOPEC Tianjin Branch and Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company Ltd.

Dow Technology Licensing is a business group of The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated affiliates (Dow).

SINOPEC Tianjin Branch will build a 420 KTA monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant as part of its 1 million MTPA ethylene cracker facility located in the Bohai Gulf, the closest seaport to Beijing. Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company, Ltd. will build a 650 KTA MEG plant located in the southern region of mainland China.

"METEOR EO/EG process technology is unique compared to other technologies, both because of the simplicity of its plant design and because of its EO catalyst, which provides the rare combination of high efficiency and activity."

"China represents a tremendous growth opportunity for Dow and its customers and we are very pleased that SINOPEC has chosen METEOR EO/EG process technology to build its new monoethylene glycol plants," said Dr. Molly Peifang Zhang, vice president of Dow Technology Licensing.

"In addition to this agreement with SINOPEC, Dow has licensed and built three METEOR EO/EG process technology plants through joint venture agreements. The reputation of METEOR EO/EG plants for best-in-industry raw material efficiency coupled with excellent capital efficiency and operability influenced SINOPEC's decision to license this technology."

"The LEC version of the technology is designed to satisfy SINOPEC's drive to lower energy consumption," said Joe Bromley, business director, Licensing and Catalyst, METEOR and LP OxoSM Technology.
