Propylene Oxide (CHPO)
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PROPYLENE OXIDE (CHPO)
Propylene oxide is a clear, colourless highly reactive C3 compound, and it is one of the main building block of the petrochemical portfolio worldwide.
The CONSER Propylene Oxide conventional process (CHPO) is based on the chlorohydrination route using propylene, chlorine and milk of lime as feedstock via the classic production route.
This route is the most economic for plants of average capacity and in all cases where the massive production of co-products (e.g. styrene), as in other technologies, is not justified.
CONSER has enstablished a leading role in design of chlorohydrination plants, and is in position to offer a valid advanced propylene oxide technology, characterized by improved efficiencies, easy, safe and reliable operation and very high purity of the product (greater than 99.9%).
