Bob Patel, CEOOn this front, LyondellBasell, a plastic technology solution and services provider, and industry pioneers with over 250 licensed production lines worldwide have been developing solutions for nearly 70 years. The firm delivers best-in-class manufacturing process technologies, catalysts, and technical services that offer consistent value to its customers. Leveraging LyondellBasell’s Research and Development, and integrated experience in plastic technology, clients are treated to a wide variety of resources that can be utilized to enhance manufacturing and business capabilities.
Continuing its impressive track record of innovation, LyondellBasell introduced a new polyolefin process, Hyperzone PE that it uses to create high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic with characteristic that is setting the bar for others in the industry to follow.
The Latest in Plastic Tech Innovations
Enabling customers to create the optimal balance between ease of processing and high performance end-product physical properties, LyondellBasell’s Hyperzone PE utilizes three distinct reaction zones in two reactors to produce HDPE that is tailored to meet customers demanding requirements.
Based on its extensive studies at its pilot plant, LyondellBasell has a deep understanding of the structural capabilities of the newly developed polymer structure. With improved process ability, superior toughness capabilities, and a formidable resistance to chemical reactions such as corrosion, customers can primarily benefit from the utilization of HDPE to create end-products. It helps manufacturers achieve source reduction in some areas where the plastic is actively in use, increasing productivity, and enhancing durability of final products including a stronger resistance to crack development in pipes.
Presently, LyondellBasell is in the process of building the first commercial Hyperzone PE plant in La Porte, Texas, and plans to begin its operations soon.
From Raw Material to Final Product
To create quality HDPE resins, it is necessary to breakdown raw materials through a chemically reactive process, and LyondellBasell has a range of solutions that enable the process to be comfortable and efficient.
LyondellBasell’s top-notch process, “Hostalen,” is an advanced cascade process technology that has three reactors in a cascade through which it enables the production of multimodal HDPE resins. Used in manufacturing of film, blow molding and pipe applications, the high-performance resins are built with industry-leading toughness, impact resistance, high stress cracking stability, and processing advantages. LyondellBasell utilizing this technology produces an excessive of one million tons of HDPE resins annually at the organization’s multiple facilities that are wholly-owned or joint partner ventures.
Besides the highly-efficient Hostalen ACP process, LyondellBasell leverages a complete holistic solution “Spherilene,” a fluidized-bed, gas-phase process to create a suite of polyethylene (PE) products from linear low to medium and high density PE. The combination of flexibility with active capital management structures is the main factor for world-scale plants to adopt the technology. This proven and tested reliability enables the upscaling of the process design and allows users to work with capacities of up to 600 kt/a.
Industry Grade Education
Regarded as a premium leader in the plastic technology industry, Lyondell understands the significance of ensuring that clients gain the maximum potential of their acquired technology assets. For this purpose, the company employs a dedicated services team that applies in-depth expertise to aid its clients to get the most of the investments and achieve operational excellence.
“By leveraging the dedicated technology and operational resources within the Technology Services organization, along with LyondellBasell's impressive global expertise network in manufacturing, R&D, process design, safety, engineering, and product applications, our Technology Services has the right expertise to respond to your specific needs.” – reads an excerpt from LyondellBasell’s website.
