Projects

PetroLogistics recently announced its plans to construct a 500 KTA PDH plant on the US Gulf Coast using the Dow fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) technology.  The advanced FCDh technology uses a novel reactor design based on fluidized catalytic cracking, similar to the FCC process used in petroleum refining. The patented technology represents a significant advancement in the production of propylene via PDH compared to other incumbent technologies. Plants utilizing the FCDh technology are anticipated to have significantly lower capital cost and energy consumption, as well as improved reliability. The Company has identified two potential sites to locate the project and is in commercial discussions with offtakers. Please see the press release announcing the project.
