CATALYST ACTIVATOR SYSTEMS
Background
The process involves the polymerization of ethylene to linear polyethylene using chromium catalysts (Phillips catalysts) supported on silica. Chromium catalysts are the most widely used catalyst in the manufacturing of high density polyethylene (HDPE). The process is owned and licensed by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company.
Our Experience
Our experts at Solusions have been heavily involved in over twenty (20) systems deployed globally over the past 30 years. Our engagement spans from feasibility studies and front-end engineering design (FEED) to detailed design, manufacturing, and full commissioning for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
Our team is well-versed in process engineering, possessing in-depth and proven knowledge across all system elements, including fluidization, heat transfer, process controls, piping systems. Our team of experts provides end to end support from engineering concept all the way to up and commissioning.
Furthermore, we maintain ongoing relationships with these facilities, providing upgrades and technical support services. This demonstrates our deep technical understanding and expertise, as we continuously enhance the technology.
We are currently engaged and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to contribute to some of today’s most critical high-profile HDPE projects.
