Nanjing Chengzhi Yongqing Energy Technology Co. has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to Wison Engineering (China) Ltd. for a new methanol-to-olefins (MTO) plant and butadiene unit in Nanjing, China.

The 600,000 t/y MTO plant will utilize Honeywell UOP's advanced process technologies and Wison Engineering's high recovery olefin separation technology to produce ethylene and propylene.

Nanjing Chengzhi's 100,000 t/y butadiene plant will be based on Wison's proprietary Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Butene to Butadiene technology. 

The projects, for which a cost was not given, are scheduled for completion in December 2018.
