據ICIS-MRC網站9月8日莫斯科MRC報道，Chemweek稱，盧克石油公司(俄羅斯莫斯科)已經選擇了Lummus技術公司的Novolen聚丙烯(PP)技術，用于之前宣布的在俄羅斯克斯托沃（Kstovo）的新石化設施。

Lummus表示，其Novolen業務已經獲得了俄羅斯石油公司的一份合同，為該公司50萬噸/年的PP生產裝置提供技術許可證，以及基礎設計工程、培訓和服務，以及催化劑供應。該公司表示，自Lummus今年早些時候成為一家獨立公司以來，PP技術許可獎是第一個。據Lummus稱，該合同是迄今為止在俄羅斯獲得許可的最大的Novolen PP設備。

Lummus技術公司總裁兼首席執行官Leon de Bruyn表示，俄羅斯是“Lummus數十年來一直強大的重要市場”，該公司還將繼續在俄羅斯擴建。

據Lummus稱，該合同使Novolen技術在世界范圍內的許可總量增加到1700萬噸/年。

盧克石油公司在2019年中期做出投資決定，在下諾夫哥羅德地區現有的Kstovo煉油廠繼續建設PP工廠，煉油廠將為新裝置提供原料，該裝置計劃主要為出口市場生產PP。該公司當時還表示，計劃在同一地點建造年產30萬噸苯乙烯的生產設施。

根據MRC的ScanPlast，7月份俄羅斯工廠的PP總產量增至158,800噸，而一個月前為149,400噸。 ZapSibNeftekhim，Nizhnekamskneftekhim和Poliom提高了產能利用率。俄羅斯的PP總產量在2020年1-7月達到106.37萬噸，而去年同期為85.45萬噸。八個生產商中有五個提高了產能利用率，新的生產商Zap Sib Neftekhim占產量的主要增長。

Kstovo是盧克石油公司在俄羅斯最大的煉油廠之一，年吞吐量為1700萬噸。

Lukoil selects Lummus PP technology for new plant in Russia

Lukoil (Moscow, Russia) has selected Lummus Technology’s Novolen polypropylene (PP) technology for a previously announced new petrochemical facility in Kstovo, Russia, said Chemweek.

Lummus says its Novolen business has been awarded a contract by the Russian oil company to supply the technology license for the 500,000 metric tons/year PP production unit, as well as basic design engineering, training and services, and catalyst supply. The PP technology license award is the first since Lummus became an independent company earlier this year, it says. The contract is the largest Novolen PP unit licensed in Russia to date, according to Lummus.

Russia is "a critical market where Lummus has had a strong presence for decades," and where it will continue to expand, says Leon de Bruyn, president and CEO at Lummus Technology.

The award increases the total amount of licensed volume for Novolen technology worldwide to more than 17 million metric tons/year, according to Lummus.

Lukoil took an investment decision mid-2019 to proceed with the PP plant at its existing Kstovo refinery in the Nizhny Novgorod region, with the refinery to provide feedstock for the new unit, which is planned to produce PP largely for the export market. The company also said at the time it planned to build a 300,000-metric tons/year styrene manufacturing complex at the same site.

As per MRC's ScanPlast, Russian plants' total PP production grew to 158,800 tonnes in July, compared to 149,400 tonnes a month earlier; ZapSibNeftekhim, Nizhnekamskneftekhim and Poliom increased their capacity utilisation. Russia"s overall PP production reached 1,063,700 tonnes in January-July 2020, compared to 854,500 tonnes a year earlier. Five out of eight producers raised their capacity utilisation, with a new producer - ZapSibNeftekhim - accounting for the main increase in the output.

Kstovo is one of Lukoil’s largest refineries in Russia with a throughput of 17 million metric tons/year.
