Axens to provide FLEXICOKING Technology to Hengyi Industries
5/27/2021
Since the Alliance Agreement signed between ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing (EMCL) and Axens to provide FLEXICOKING™ technology in January 2020, it has been a great success as can be seen in the new license granted to Hengyi Industries integrated complex in Pulau Muara Besar, Brunei.
Following the successful start-up of the 1.1 MTA FLEXICOKING™ unit at the end of 2019, Hengyi Industries has selected FLEXICOKING™ for a second time to upgrade the heavy feeds of its 16-MTA capacity for the New Crude to Aromatics Phase II expansion project.
The FLEXICOKING™ unit will upgrade the 2.1 MTA blend of Vacuum Residue, FCC Slurry Oil and Steam Cracker PyOil into valuable distillates and Flexigas. Start-up of the unit is foreseen in June 2024.
