Persian Gulf Bidboland Gas Refinery to Produce Propylene

Executive operations for the construction of a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant at the Persian Gulf Bidboland Gas Refinery in Khuzestan Province will begin soon, managing director of the refinery said.
“The new project seeks to produce propylene from the propane product of the refining complex with a capacity of 450,000 tons per year,” the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana also quoted Mahmoud Aminnejad as saying.
PDH is a promising catalytic technology utilized for the conversion of propane into propylene, which is involved in many petrochemical applications.
In addition to propylene, the PDH plant produces other byproducts (mainly hydrogen).
