“Commercial Scale Sidedraw Line Test of the MP-01 Cumene Catalyst” Performed by Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute Has Passed Appraisal

＂The commercial scale sidedraw line test of the MP-01 cumene catalyst＂ jointly conducted by SINOPEC Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute and SINOPEC Gaoqiao Branch Company has passed the technical appraisal organized by the SINOPEC Technical Development Division. The study based on the laboratory research work completed the enlarged scale for preparation of the MP-01 catalyst for manufacture of cumene through liquid-phase alkylation using the porous material SHY-1 as the active ingredient. The catalyst prepared in an enlarged scale has been tested for 10 months in a sidedraw line of a 1000 t/a alkylation unit at Gaoqiao Petrochemical Company.
