However, some of these units, mainly catalytic process steps or downstream processes, incorporate technologies, developed and licensed by other companies.
Integration of these license processes within the ethylene process is beneficial as during engineering and execution phase, overall synergies can be utilized.
For the following products licensed technologies are available to be integrated with Linde ethylene technology :
Butene 1 dimerization
selective or full C3 and C4 hydrogenation
1 or 2 stage Gasoline Hydrogenation
Butadiene Extraction
Aromatics Extraction
MTBE
CO Methanation
However, these are just examples for typical products where an integration of a licensed technology is beneficial.
If required also license processes for other products can be integrated within the engineering workflow of Linde Engineering.
