    After 72 hours of stable operation

    December 17th at 23:10

    Full compliance with last sample analysis results

    It marks the complete success of the PO/TBA industrialization test of Binhua Group

    This is the first PO/TBA technology with independent intellectual property rights in China

    It is a milestone in breaking the technological monopoly of international chemical giants

    As the core device of the C3C4 comprehensive utilization project, its process is the first domestic co-oxidation propylene oxide technology independently developed by Binhua Group and Tsinghua Institute of Technology

    Industrialization test site of PO/TBA device

    Introduction to isobutane co-oxidation (PO/TBA)

    Introduction to isobutane co-oxidation (PO/TBA)

    The isobutane co-oxidation method (PO/TBA) was first developed by the American ARCO Company in 1967
    .
    The process uses propylene and isobutane as raw materials to produce propylene oxide and co-produce tertiary butanol (TBA) or methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)

    .
    The production process mainly includes 6 processes of isobutane oxidation, propylene epoxidation, product separation, purification, catalyst recovery and preparation and tert-butanol treatment

    .

    Isobutane reacts with pure oxygen to generate tert-butyl peroxide and TBA.
    After concentration, tert-butyl peroxide reacts with propylene to generate PO and TBA, and TBA reacts with methanol to obtain MTBE

    .

    The advantages of this process are that it does not use chlorine as a raw material, has little pollution, and overcomes the shortcomings of the chlorohydrin method, such as serious pollution, large corrosion, and demand for chlorine resources
    .

     PO/TBA process flow

    The PO/TBA process consumes 0.
    78 tons of propylene and 2.
    77 tons of isobutane to produce 1 ton of propylene oxide, and co-produces 2.
    3-2.
    5 tons of TBA or 3.
    0-3.
    2 tons of MTBE

    .
    This process involves a lot of raw materials and products, and requires a complete industrial chain configuration for upstream and downstream, and the investment is relatively large

    .
    In addition, how to reasonably digest and utilize a large number of co-products also affects the promotion of this type of technology and the overall benefit of the device

    .

    Typical PO/TBA processes are mainly mastered by companies such as ARCO, Texaco, LyondellBasell and Huntsman
    .

    In 2014, Wanhua Chemical introduced Huntman isobutane co-oxidation (PO/MTBE) technology, and built and put into operation a 240,000-ton/year propylene oxide co-production 750,000-ton/year MTBE unit
    .
    Jinling Huntsman New Materials Co.
    , Ltd.
    adopted the technology of Huntsman Company, and completed and put into operation in 2017 the MTBE project with an annual output of 240,000 tons of propylene oxide and 742,000 tons of propylene oxide

    .

    The new PO/TBA technology developed by Binhua has completely independent intellectual property rights, which can increase the profit margin by at least about 10%
    .
    This industrialization test is of milestone significance for breaking the technological monopoly of international chemical giants, and lays the foundation for the comprehensive promotion of Binhua Beihai project
