In an exciting project milestone, the HP Recycle Exchangers have been shipped from Funke Heat Exchanger Systems’ facility in Changzhou to our client’s site.

The plant, which is being built in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China by Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. utilizes ECI Group’s Hybrid Technology on two copolymer lines and will be capable of producing 400,000 tonnes per year of EVA.

ECI Group provided the technology, design, and training for the two lines, and will continue to provide support through commissioning, start-up, and production.

ECI Group’s Hybrid Technology offering is unique in the industry as it allows for 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.

ECI Group is committed to developing localized solutions for our EVA licensed projects in China. The shipment of these HP Recycle Exchangers is a testament to the successful cooperation between ECI Group, Funke, and Huayi. Thanks to our combined efforts, these key equipment items will soon be installed on the plant, marking a major milestone in the plant construction.
