Simple To Build, Operate and Maintain
In a word, the UNIPOL™ Polypropylene Process Technology is simplicity.
UNIPOL Polypropylene Process Technology is an all gas-phase technology based on a fluidized bed reactor system. It is stable and predictable. It is designed to have fewer moving parts and less equipment than any competing technology.
The simple, reliable design of the UNIPOL Polypropylene Technology, coupled with SHAC™ Catalyst Systems and the new CONSISTA™ Donor Technology from Dow, offers another significant economic benefit - the ability to operate the plant above nameplate capacity.
Plants utilizing the UNIPOL™ Polypropylene Technology routinely run above nameplate capacity, delivering even higher return on the original investment. In fact, this technology delivers the highest on-stream time in the industry, with exceptional aim-grade performance to further enhance the capacity of the UNIPOL Polypropylene Technology.
The core facility has the smallest footprint in the industry, about 60 meters by 65 meters. This includes the following operations:
- Purification
- Reaction
- Purging
- Vent Recovery
- Additive Addition
- Pelleting
Simple, Yet State-Of-The Art
The UNIPOL Polypropylene Technology is state-of-the-art technology. At the same time, it is mechanically simple and easy for you to operate. A minimal amount of major equipment is required. There are only three or four pieces of major rotating equipment depending on your configuration.
A single reactor is used to produce homopolymers and random copolymers. You can add a second reactor in series with the first which will allow you to produce impact copolymers.
The simplicity of the homopolymer/random copolymer systems is also mirrored in the impact copolymer state. It uses the same gas phase fluidized bed process but with a slightly smaller reactor.
The simplicity of the UNIPOL Polypropylene Process Technology offers you several process advantages and operational benefits to help keep you competitive in the marketplace.
