SABIC 02 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 03 AT A GLANCE All around the world, SABIC people are engaged in transformation.

In 2018, Hadeed entered into a cooperative agreement with a company to recycle the 60,000 tons of BHD the company generated to be sold to zinc oxide producers – initiating environmentally responsible disposal of waste as well as turning cost into revenue. 06 07 DEVELOPING CIRCULAR SOLUTIONS SABIC is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, one of 27 companies committed to addressing its global environmental impact. Plastic waste has become a major global issue, on the land and particularly in the world’s oceans. SABIC has taken a lead in addressing the impact of plastic waste, both through cooperative actions with peers, cross sector value chain partners, and through the ingenuity of SABIC scientists. 2018 saw SABIC become the first company to offer a major breakthrough in the Circular Economy, committing to scale up the chemical recycling of plastic waste back to the original polymer. Identical to non-recycled, the processed feedstock offers customers an “off the shelf” aid to meet their recycling pledges, and the planet relief from waste. 08 09 DRIVING THE FUTURE OF AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN LEXAN™ resin from SABIC enabled Italian race and supercar designer and manufacturer Dallara Automobili to add unique design features while removing weight. In designing the 2018 Dallara Stradale, Dallara wanted to offer drivers both exceptional visibility and an inclusive, immersive driving experience. LEXAN resin, a polycarbonate material from SABIC, made possible a complex aerodynamic design for the vehicle’s glazing surfaces that would have been impossible with glass, while also reducing weight by around 35 percent. The combination of improved performance and handling through lower weight and a distinctive, futuristic appearance, achieved in collaboration with creative partner Granstudio and glazing specialist Isoclima, gives a view of what tomorrow holds for the next generation of lightweight vehicles.

  • Developing Linear-Alpha-Olefins Technology – from Laboratory to a Commercial Plant A
    Catalysis – Innovative Applications in Petrochemistry and Refining DGMK Conference October 4-6, 2011, Dresden, Germany Developing Linear-alpha-Olefins Technology – From Laboratory to a Commercial Plant A. Meiswinkel, A. Wöhl, W. Müller, H. Bölt Linde AG, Pullach, Germany Abstract Linear α-Olefins (LAOs) are used in several applications in chemical industry. Together with SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation) Linde jointly developed the α-SABLIN technology for a full range LAO plant as well as a 1-Hexene selective "On Purpose" technology (LAO OP) to cover the rapidly increasing demand for this specific comonomer. The α-SABLIN as well as the OP technology are both homogenously catalyzed systems. This is raising special challenges concerning process and reactor design compared to much more established heterogeneous systems in chemical industry. E.g., the reactor concept is a bubble-column which allows efficient mixing as well as cooling of the reaction mixture. The development of the process was based on laboratory experiments which – based on an initial conceptual design for a large scale technical process - were first transformed into a pilot device before the commercial plant was designed, engineered and successfully started up and declared as commercialized. Today the α-SABLIN technology is the only LAO technology with a commercial reference which is free for licensing. A lot of experience and knowledge from the α-SABLIN development and commercial operation was gained. Although newly developed OP technology is based on a different catalytic system, this experience is now utilized and transformed within the commercialization of this new technological development. Introduction Linear α-Olefins (LAO) are used in several applications in chemical industry.
