英国石油公司(BP)近日推出两种主要的石化原料生产新技术:SaaBre技术是一种以合成气为原料生产醋酸的新路线;Hummingbird技术可以直接将乙醇通过脱水生产乙烯。SaaBre技术的突破在于将合成气(一氧化碳和氢气)直接转化成为醋酸,避免了净化一氧化碳或购买甲醇。BP预计相对于传统的甲醇羰基化制醋酸路线,SaaBre技术将显著降低可变生产成本,提高资本的效率。Hummingbird技术可以实现乙醇直接脱水生产乙烯,
BP recently introduced two major new technologies for petrochemical feedstock production: SaaBre technology is a new route for the production of acetic acid from syngas and Hummingbird technology produces ethanol directly from ethanol. The breakthrough for SaaBre technology is the direct conversion of syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) to acetic acid, avoiding the purification of carbon monoxide or the purchase of methanol. BP predicts that SaaBre technology will significantly reduce variable production costs and increase capital efficiency relative to the traditional methanol carbonylation of acetic acid. Hummingbird technology can achieve direct dehydration of ethanol to produce ethylene,
