卢克石油为俄罗斯新工厂选择Lummus PP技术

据ICIS-MRC网站9月8日莫斯科MRC报道，Chemweek称，卢克石油公司(俄罗斯莫斯科)已经选择了Lummus技术公司的Novolen聚丙烯(PP)技术，用于之前宣布的在俄罗斯克斯托沃（Kstovo）的新石化设施。

Lummus表示，其Novolen业务已经获得了俄罗斯石油公司的一份合同，为该公司50万吨/年的PP生产装置提供技术许可证，以及基础设计工程、培训和服务，以及催化剂供应。该公司表示，自Lummus今年早些时候成为一家独立公司以来，PP技术许可奖是第一个。据Lummus称，该合同是迄今为止在俄罗斯获得许可的最大的Novolen PP设备。

Lummus技术公司总裁兼首席执行官Leon de Bruyn表示，俄罗斯是“Lummus数十年来一直强大的重要市场”，该公司还将继续在俄罗斯扩建。

据Lummus称，该合同使Novolen技术在世界范围内的许可总量增加到1700万吨/年。

卢克石油公司在2019年中期做出投资决定，在下诺夫哥罗德地区现有的Kstovo炼油厂继续建设PP工厂，炼油厂将为新装置提供原料，该装置计划主要为出口市场生产PP。该公司当时还表示，计划在同一地点建造年产30万吨苯乙烯的生产设施。

根据MRC的ScanPlast，7月份俄罗斯工厂的PP总产量增至158,800吨，而一个月前为149,400吨。 ZapSibNeftekhim，Nizhnekamskneftekhim和Poliom提高了产能利用率。俄罗斯的PP总产量在2020年1-7月达到106.37万吨，而去年同期为85.45万吨。八个生产商中有五个提高了产能利用率，新的生产商Zap Sib Neftekhim占产量的主要增长。

Kstovo是卢克石油公司在俄罗斯最大的炼油厂之一，年吞吐量为1700万吨。

Lukoil selects Lummus PP technology for new plant in Russia

Lukoil (Moscow, Russia) has selected Lummus Technology’s Novolen polypropylene (PP) technology for a previously announced new petrochemical facility in Kstovo, Russia, said Chemweek.

Lummus says its Novolen business has been awarded a contract by the Russian oil company to supply the technology license for the 500,000 metric tons/year PP production unit, as well as basic design engineering, training and services, and catalyst supply. The PP technology license award is the first since Lummus became an independent company earlier this year, it says. The contract is the largest Novolen PP unit licensed in Russia to date, according to Lummus.

Russia is "a critical market where Lummus has had a strong presence for decades," and where it will continue to expand, says Leon de Bruyn, president and CEO at Lummus Technology.

The award increases the total amount of licensed volume for Novolen technology worldwide to more than 17 million metric tons/year, according to Lummus.

Lukoil took an investment decision mid-2019 to proceed with the PP plant at its existing Kstovo refinery in the Nizhny Novgorod region, with the refinery to provide feedstock for the new unit, which is planned to produce PP largely for the export market. The company also said at the time it planned to build a 300,000-metric tons/year styrene manufacturing complex at the same site.

As per MRC's ScanPlast, Russian plants' total PP production grew to 158,800 tonnes in July, compared to 149,400 tonnes a month earlier; ZapSibNeftekhim, Nizhnekamskneftekhim and Poliom increased their capacity utilisation. Russia"s overall PP production reached 1,063,700 tonnes in January-July 2020, compared to 854,500 tonnes a year earlier. Five out of eight producers raised their capacity utilisation, with a new producer - ZapSibNeftekhim - accounting for the main increase in the output.

Kstovo is one of Lukoil’s largest refineries in Russia with a throughput of 17 million metric tons/year.
