Dow's arm Univation join hands with Linde for polyethylene technology

Univation Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Chemical, and Linde Group’s engineering division have entered into a cooperation agreement aimed at providing performance and cost efficiencies for the production of polyethylene resins. The parties expect that this exclusive partnership will deliver measurable benefits to resin producers globally.
 
Under the agreement, Univation and Linde will work toward delivering streamlined technology, capital expense and operational expense reduction opportunities and improved quality in early stage design to ethylene cracker and polyethylene projects. The companies believe this will be valuable for both new construction projects as well as retrofit projects.
 
Dr Christian Bruch, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG and responsible for the company’s engineering business, stated, “Our combination of technology and engineering, procurement and construction capabilities is a key driver to deliver competitive solutions to the petrochemical industry. We are excited to leverage the enormous potential synergies inherent in this close collaboration with Univation Technologies to deliver value to our existing and future customers.”
