UOP/HYDRO MTO Process
The UOP/HYDRO MTO process (methanol to olefins) provides you with
an economical means to convert natural gas to olefins.
Changing natural gas into olefins is a two-step process. The first step, converting
natural gas to methanol, has been available to the industry for some time and
in recent years has achieved substantial economies of scale. The second step,
transforming the resulting methanol into olefins, has recently been introduced
by UOP and Norsk Hydro ASA.
The UOP/HYDRO MTO process offers you:
- Exceptional value for conversion
of methane (via methanol) to polymer-grade ethylene and propylene.
-
Minimal production of by-products compared to a steam cracker, which
results in a simplified product recovery section.
- Easy integration into existing naphtha cracker facilities due to very
high olefin selectivity with low paraffin yields.
- Flexibility to change the propylene to ethylene product ratio.
