Rotterdam/The Netherlands – Lyondell Basell has recently announced that Inner Mongolia Baofeng New Material Co., a fully owned Chinese subsidiary of Ningxia Baofeng, will use the Lyondell Basell Spheripol technology for its new mega facility.

The process technology will be used for four polypropylene (PP) lines, each producing 500 KTA, to be built in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, P.R. China.

“Since pioneering the commercial scale polypropylene production in the early 60’s, Lyondell Basell continues to build on the unprecedented success story of our polypropylene technologies. This major award of 2,000 KTA of polypropylene in 4 Spheripol lines is an outstanding achievement in a single production complex,” said Neil Nadalin, Director of Licensing at Lyondell Basell.
