- 14. Evolutionary Process Improvement •Electrolysis: Chlorine and caustic soda production from salt • Power makes up 70-85% of costs in chlorine process • Approx. 7% power saving achieved • Improvement via mechanical design and process control improvements • Widely deployed in Middle East 2,070 2,170 2,130 2,055 2,020 v3 v4 v5plus v5 v6 PowerconsumptioninkWh/tNaOH1) 2008 20111997 20122005
- 15. Revolutionary Process Improvement Productionof Propylene Oxide (PO) • Co-product free - traditional routes have co-products and additional market dependency • Environmental friendly hydrogenperoxide based production • Competitive production costs • Licensed to SKC (Korea) and Shenhua (China)
- 16. Marginal gains byInnovative Technology Uhde Fertilizer Technology & Shell Thiogro Technology
- 17. Creating Value inthe Fertilizer Market Granular Urea with Elemental Sulphur (ES) brings added value to ALL players • Sulphur to improve yield and quality • Nitrogen, Sulphur applied separately = high cost Farmer: • Low urea prices • Changing markets (US independency) • How to preserve margins? Nitrogen Fertilizer producer: • Abundant Sulphur available: • How to create value out of it? Oil & Gas producer: Granular Urea + elemental Sulphur (ES)

- 19. Granular Urea +ES: Product Higher nutrient density High agronomic efficiency Balanced nutrients within a single granule Higher nutrient content, higher agronomic efficiency Majority of sulphur particles < 30 µm Uniform distribution of sulphur particles Urea (N) Urea+ES 46% Nitrogen 40% Nitrogen + 13% Sulphur N N N S N NN S S N N NN NN N N N

- 21. Granular Urea +ES: The Value Proposition Farmer needs 5 tons/acre less for same nutrient content Fertilizer required (tons/acre): Urea AS 45.66 Urea ES 40.70 Cost for application (US-Middle East comparison) by adding 6 $USD for sulphur producer gains 92,00 $USD per ton higher revenues! Additional value for urea producer
- 22. Marginal Gains: DehydrogenationTechnology
- 23. STAR process® On-purposeproduction of propylene growing • Mainly driven by growing demand for Polypropylene • Other products are Propylene Oxide, Cumene, Acrylonitrile, Acrylic Acid, Oxo Alcohols • Demand for propylene outpaces supply from conventional sources (Steam Cracking, Fluid Catalytic Cracking) • Refinery economics & improved fuel efficiency affecting supply from refineries • On-purpose production of propylene required • Share of on-purpose technologies growing from 7% in 2000 and >30% in 2022 Source: IHS Demand Supply Conclusion
- 24. STAR process® -Dehydrogenation Technology Hydrocarbon partial pressure decrease Constant and mild reaction conditions Flexible and safe operation • Advantage in CAPEX & OPEX of raw gas compressor • Less by-products product directly meets the polymer-grade propylene spec. • Lowest catalyst inventory: No moving catalyst or hot switching valves Simple and robust operation less maintenance • Coke directly re-converted into CO/CO2 longer operational cycle between regenerations (usually 7h / 1h ), with high flexibility • Steam also used as purge medium simple stop gas flow in case of any disturbance • Shorter re-start from “hot stand-by“ • Proven annual plant availability of 99%
- 25. Marginal Gains byAsset Management
- 26. Concerns in arunning plant HSE Reliability Product Quality Plant Availability Optimized Lifecycle Costs Synergistic Partnerships Statutory Compliances
- 27. Integration of AssetManagement Long lasting partnerships basically create value/ Marginal Gains
- 28. Key characteristics ofIntegrated Asset Management Holistic approach for the whole plant • Solution provider for all disciplines: HSE Operations Mechanical Electrical & Instrumentation • Embedded into client‘s organization and same levels of ”ownership“ for physical assets People Process Technology
- 29. Eliminating the hiddencosts Visible Invisible Poor quality Delivery issues Reduced asset life Lost production Reputation damages Safety/ environment risk Services Personnel Materials Energy
