ExxonMobil and KBR to collaborate on next-generation PDH technology
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.
The combined technology solution offers cost savings compared to existing PDH technology due to the superior performance of ExxonMobil's new catalysts.
