The new design center will include engineering, design, process and project expertise, service and sales functions.
The UOP design center will initially focus on executing projects involving UOP’s Separex membrane systems, which are used to remove impurities from natural gas streams, in order to meet the quality standards specified by the major pipeline transmission and distribution companies.
Carlos Cabrera, president and CEO of UOP, said: Establishing this design and operations center in Malaysia demonstrates our commitment to serving the Southeast Asian market and our numerous customers there.
