SASA will build the world’s largest propane dehydrogenation unit using Honeywell Oleflex technology.
SASA will build the world’s largest Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) unit, which has the capacity to produce 1 million tons of propylene per year, in Yumurtalık, using the latest generation Honeywell Oleflex technology.
Aiming to make Turkey one of the three largest polyester producers in the world and to have a say on a global scale, SASA Chairman of the Board İbrahim Erdemoğlu said, “SASA is Turkey’s largest polyester and polymer producer with a sustainable growth perspective. SASA will continue to use the latest technologies in the world while walking towards its goals in all Erdemoğlu Holding subsidiaries, as it has done so far. In this context, cooperation has been made with Honeywell UOP Oleflex, which uses the world’s most important and new technologies in our new facility to be built in Yumurtalık.
Uygar Doyuran, Honeywell’s Türkiye, Israel and Central Asia President, said:
“Our Oleflex technology, which we will use at SASA’s new Yumurtalık facility, will enable Honeywell UOP to produce low-cost propylene using its unique, highly active and environmentally friendly catalyst, supported by more than 75 years of innovations in dehydrogenation technology, thus joining the growing propylene market.”
This project of SASA will take place between 2023 and 2026 and includes the construction of a PDH production facility with an annual capacity of 1 million tons and a container port.
