New Delhi: Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Wednesday said it has shipped the world's heaviest ethylene oxide reactor - a vital component in petrochemical plants - to China.
The reactors were sent by the heavy engineering vertical of Larsen Toubro (L&T) for a project of chemical giant BASF in China, the company said in a statement.
“I thank BASF for giving us the opportunity to supply one of the most critical reactors to L&T for its prestigious project,” said Anil V Parab, Senior Executive Vice President, L&T Heavy Engineering and Whole-time Director, L&T Valves.
The ethylene oxide (EO) reactor facilitates the catalytic conversion of ethylene to ethylene oxide, an important intermediate in the production of various downstream chemicals.
"This equipment...is the largest EO reactor ever built in BASF's almost 160-year history. These are a vital supply for the Verbund Petrochemical project in Zhanjiang to support the development of the chemical market in China," said Joachim Thiel, said Senior Vice President and Senior Project Management New Verband BASF China.
Larsen & Toubro is a US$27 billion domestic multinational engaged in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects, high-tech manufacturing and services.
