KBR and ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing will collaborate with the aim of bringing significant advances to propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology, according to information from the Hydrocarbon Processing Network, MRCHUB reported on its website in Moscow on March 28.
Under the partnership, ExxonMobil's new proprietary catalyst technology will be combined with KBR's patented K-PRO PDH technology to convert propane to propylene.
