Unit for SINOPEC to help meet demand for clean fuels and
chemical in China


    DES PLAINES, Ill., March 8 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- UOP
LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company, announced today it
has successfully commissioned its 200th CCR Platforming
process unit, a milestone in the refining process
technology area.

    The unit, in operation at Sinopec Hainan Petrochemical
Co.'s newest refinery in the Hainan Province of China, will
allow Sinopec, the region's largest producer and supplier of
oil products and petrochemical products, to supply clean
fuel and chemical feedstocks throughout China.  It will use
UOP's most advanced CCR Reforming catalysts, which are
designed for high liquid and hydrogen yields, low coke
production and maximum process unit profitability. 

    "UOP is proud to have reached this important
milestone and we will continue to develop innovative
processes and technologies," said Norm Gilsdorf,
senior vice president of UOP's Process Technology &
Equipment business unit.  "We are equally as proud of
our long partnership with China, including Sinopec, and our
efforts to help China achieve its tremendous sustainable
growth."

    The highly energy efficient CCR Platforming is a
continuous catalytic reforming process used throughout the
petroleum and petrochemical industries to produce aromatics
and hydrogen from naphthenes and paraffins.  First
commercialized in 1971, UOP's CCR Platforming process has
been licensed in more than 27 units in China since 1985,
representing more than 26 million metric tons a year of
throughput in China.  

    In addition to CCR technology, UOP has licensed 12
aromatics complexes, two Linear Alky Benzene (LAB)
complexes and various petroleum refining technologies to
Sinopec since the early 1980s.

Sinopec Corp. As China's largest producer and supplier of
oil and petrochemical products and the second largest
producer of crude oil, Sinopec's annual sales volume of oil
products accounts for 57.8 percent of the country's total
