据烃加工网站1月8日报道 KBR公司于2019年1月推出的K-PROTM丙烷脱氢（PDH）技术赢得了第一份商业合同。这项创新的环保技术将被亚洲的一家客户用于60万吨/年的丙烷脱氢工厂。

K-PRO为客户提供更低的资本和运营成本以及环境效益。与现有的市售技术相比，该技术更具可靠性，允许设施在较长时间的停工期之间运行。

K-PRO采用KBR成熟的OrthoflowTM流化催化裂化（FCC）反应器技术，还利用KBR在设计优化烯烃回收系统方面的专业知识，这是KBR几十年来获得SCORETM蒸汽裂解和K-COTTM催化烯烃技术许可后所获得。

K-PRO工艺的核心是一种创新的催化剂，它不含昂贵的贵金属和环境敏感的铬，可用于现有的市售技术。

KBR技术解决方案总裁Doug Kelly表示：“我们非常高兴K-PRO技术被选中参与这个项目，与我们公司对可持续发展的关注一致，K-PRO是KBR投资于创新、尖端和环保工艺技术的一个很好的例子。”

计划中的PDH装置预计在2年内启动。

KBR secures contract for Its new propane dehydrogenation technology

KBR won the first commercial contract for its K-PROTM Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) Technology which the company introduced in January 2019. This innovative and environmentally friendly technology will be utilized for a 600 kTA PDH plant by a client in Asia.

K-PRO provides lower capital and operating costs and environmental benefits for customers. The technology delivers proven reliability that allows facilities to operate for longer periods of time between shutdowns compared to existing commercially available technologies.

K-PRO employs KBR’s well-proven OrthoflowTM Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reactor technology. It also leverages KBR’s expertise in designing optimized olefins recovery systems, gained through decades of licensing KBR’s SCORETM steam cracking and K-COTTM catalytic olefins technologies.

At the heart of the K-PRO process is an innovative catalyst that contains no costly precious metals and no environmentally sensitive chromium, which are used in existing commercially available technologies.

“We are very excited that our K-PRO technology was selected for this project,” said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology Solutions. “Consistent with our corporate focus towards sustainability, K-PRO is a great example of KBR investing in process technologies that are innovative, cutting-edge, and also environmentally friendly.”

The planned PDH unit is expected to start up in 2 years.
