Technip was awarded a contract by Daelim Industrial Company, a project contractor, to provide proprietary equipment for the world’s first commercial High Severity Fluid Catalytic Cracking (HS-FCC) unit. The HS-FCC cracks heavy hydrocarbons into lighter olefins such as propylene and lighter fuels such as gasoline. It will be constructed as part of the expansion of the existing residue conversion facilities at the S-Oil refinery in Onsan, South Korea.
The proprietary equipment provided by Technip includes an innovative downflow reactor, the key component of the HS-FCC technology.
