Press Release - Technip Energies

Technip Energies is providing the proprietary technology and process design for CSPC’s 1,600 KTA⁽¹⁾ ethylene plant. This liquid ethylene cracker pioneers the use of a low CO₂ furnace design and electrification of major compressors. The plant is anticipated to have 20% lower CO₂ emissions than a similar conventional facility and will be able to maximize benefit from the rapidly decarbonizing power grid for future CO₂ emission reduction. 

In addition to the ethylene cracker technology, low emission furnace design scheme and the electrification of the major compressors, Technip Energies will provide key proprietary technology including a Heat Integrated Rectifier System (HRS), Ripple Trays™ and Spent Caustic Treatment Unit. The cracker utilizes Technip Energies’ Ultra Selective Conversion (USC®) U and W coil furnace technology, selected due to its high energy efficiency and improved yields.

Bhaskar Patel, SVP Sustainable Fuels, Chemicals and Circularity of Technip Energies, stated:“We are pleased to be entrusted once again by CSPC for the third phase of Huizhou project. This award builds on our long-term collaboration, illustrated by the successful delivery of two prior ethylene plants in Huizhou, China. Our proven ethylene technology, and leading edge in the low-emission furnace design are clearly important differentiators to make this project a success. It will showcase CSPC and T.EN’s shared vision of accelerating the transition towards a sustainable future using technological advancement as a key lever.”
