【Project Background】Ethylene oxide (EO) is a vital petrochemical intermediate widely used in the production of downstream products such as ethylene glycol and surfactants. High-efficiency EO catalysts are a core competitive element for EO plants. SABIC continuously seeks high-performance catalyst solutions for its EO production facilities.

【Role of Chinese Enterprises】With technical expertise accumulated in the EO process and catalyst sectors, Tianchen (China National Chemical Engineering Corporation) has been awarded the contract for the SABIC EO catalyst project. This marks another successful technology export case for Tianchen in the high-end catalytic materials sector in Saudi Arabia, following its MTBE proprietary technology.

【Scope of Services】L1 Technology Licensing / L3 Equipment (Catalyst) Supply, providing SABIC with EO catalyst products and related technical services.

【Significance】The entry of a Chinese self-developed EO catalyst into the supply system of SABIC, one of the world's largest petrochemical companies, signifies that Chinese chemical catalyst technology has gained recognition from an international top-tier client, holding significant exemplary value for technology export.
