BASF is stepping onto the CIPPE stage for the first time, running June 9–11 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

 

The global chemical company is using its debut appearance to push a clear message: integrated technologies are becoming central to next-generation chemical production, particularly in China’s fast-evolving petrochemical sector.

 

BASF will present four core areas tailored to industrial demand in the Chinese market: petrochemicals and intermediates technology licensing, advanced chemical catalysts and adsorbents, gas purification and environmental solutions, and customized high-pressure equipment.

 

A major focus is its catalysts and adsorbents portfolio, designed to improve efficiency, product quality, and operational reliability across petroleum and petrochemical processes.

 

Among the featured solutions are advanced hydrogenation catalysts for C3, C4 and pygas streams, offering stable yields, high efficiency and flexible feedstock adaptability. The company is also showcasing purification systems including Selexsorb, Puristar and Prosorb for petrochemical and refining applications.

 

Environmental performance is another key theme, with BASF highlighting its gas treatment catalysts including DeNOx, VOCat and DeN2O, aimed at helping operators meet emissions standards and carbon reduction targets.

 

On the technology licensing side, BASF is promoting a suite of established process technologies developed over decades of operational experience, including SYNCRA process technologies spanning oxo-C3, oxo-C4, high-purity isobutene, isooctenes, oxo-C9 and methacrylic acid. 

 

Other highlighted offerings include Polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF) 1800 technology for the spandex value chain, methylamines production, formic acid technology, and OASE gas treatment systems.

 

The company is also emphasizing its long-standing expertise in high-pressure equipment, engineered for conditions reaching up to 3,600 bar. The portfolio includes solid-wall reactors and vessels (with or without inliners), double-jacket tubular reactors, heat exchangers, piping components, and valves.

 

Beyond the exhibition floor, BASF will take part in the Industry Forum. Shahab Taebi, Global Technology Licensing Director in the Petrochemicals Division, is scheduled to present on June 9, outlining how BASF’s integrated solutions support more efficient and reliable chemical operations.

 

As BASF makes its CIPPE debut, the company is clearly positioning itself not just as a supplier of technologies, but as a systems partner for industrial-scale transformation in petrochemicals and intermediates.
