ECI Group and Repsol secure 200kta license with high-pressure technology

ECI Group, a leader in process technology and engineering design, has signed agreements with a confidential Chinese client to provide two lines of EVA production using ECI Group's proprietary Hybrid Technology offering. The technology can produce 400kta EVA in total, with each line producing 200kta. The plant will be part of the client's integrated project in Guangxi Province, China. ECI Group will provide the technology, design, and training for the two lines and support through commissioning, start-up, and production.

ECI Group's Hybrid Technology offering is a game-changer in the industry as it allows for the production of EVA and other high-value copolymers at capacities of 200 kta and higher, which was previously only possible with tubular reactors. The Hybrid technology offers the higher capacities of tubular lines with the expanded product capability of autoclave lines. In addition, ECI’s various proprietary design features and enhancements contribute to the overall effectiveness of the process and result in higher production with lower operating costs.

Repsol, a multi-energy company and ECI Group’s partner, will provide extensive technical, operational, and commercial expertise. Repsol has several LDPE, EVA, and EBA plants in its industrial complexes in Spain and Portugal and has over 40 years of experience producing award-winning polymer products in its high-pressure facilities.

The client, who declined to provide a comment citing project confidentiality, noted that they had reviewed several technology options and made the decision to select ECI Group’s hybrid technology for several important reasons, including the unmatched product range, lower operating costs, the design built for future product development capabilities and the reputation of Repsol as a long-standing producer of high-quality products.

The signing of this agreement with the Chinese client marks a significant milestone for ECI Group as it expands its global reach in providing innovative solutions to the polymer industry. The company's focus on creating value for its customers through its unique technology and design capabilities has set it apart from its competitors.

With the support of Repsol, ECI Group is well-positioned to deliver on its promise of providing the highest-quality process technology and engineering design to its clients worldwide. The combination of ECI Group's Hybrid Technology and Repsol's expertise and experience will undoubtedly give the Chinese client a competitive edge in the polymer industry.
