Univation Technology and Axens to improve efficiency of linear alpha olefins and polyethylene resins production
Axens and Univation Technologies have entered into a cooperation agreement with the purpose of developing improved capital and operating efficiencies for the production of on- purpose linear alpha olefins (LAO) — including both butene-1 and hexene-1 -for use in manufacturing polyethylene resins with the UNIPOL™ PE Process. The alliance is expected to identify and deliver quantifiable synergies to benefit polyethylene producers globally for new UNIPOL™ PE Projects as well as provide for retrofit opportunities for UNIPOL™ PE Plants already in operation.
Univation and Axens will collaborate to identify and capture capital and operating cost reduction opportunities as well as optimize process requirements for both Axens LAO technology platforms (AlphaButol® and AlphaHexol™) and Univation’s UNIPOL™ PE Process to deliver value to polyethylene producers. These synergies and optimization will be carried out during the early process design phase of the project.
Jean-Luc Nocca, Executive Vice- President at Axens, and responsible for the
Commercial Business Division, stated, “We look forward to cooperating with Univation Technologies and bring additional values to our customers by developing synergies”.
Luis Cirihal, President of Univation Technologies, LLC, also added his comments, “Univation is pleased to collaborate with Axens to enhance value to our mutual customers by enabling even greater cost advantaged production of polyethylene resins with the UNIPOL™ PE Process”.
