      UOP TECHNOLOGY SELECTED BY CHINA'S PETROCHINA
 FOR NEW INTEGRATED REFINING AND PETROCHEMICALS COMPLEX
        New complex will produce 600 thousand metric tons per year of new para-xylene capacity to
   China, where demand is expected to grow at an annual rate of 11 percent over the next 10 years

       DES PLAINES, Ill., July 10, 2008 -- UOP LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company,
announced today that PetroChina Sichuan Petrochemical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the PetroChina
Company Limited, has selected UOP to supply technology, basic engineering services and equipment
for a new integrated refining and petrochemicals complex to be installed at its facility near Chengdu,
Sichuan Province.
       Engineering design is currently in progress.
       "This project is a true collaboration between PetroChina and UOP and will be one of the most
integrated facilities in the world," said Peter Piotrowski, senior vice president for UOP's Process
Technology and Equipment business unit. "UOP is excited to be involved as the main licensor. We
have a long relationship with PetroChina and have designed many plants for them in several
locations."
       The new plant is a grass roots installation that will produce both fuels and petrochemicals,
including 600 thousand metric tons per annum of para-xylene using the UOP ParexTM process. Para-
xylene is a key ingredient in the production of PTA (purified terephthalic acid), which is used to make
polyester for fabric and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) chips for carbonated soft drink and water
bottles. The new plant will also produce more than 350 thousand metric tons per annum of benzene,
also a building block in plastics production. The demand for para-xylene in China is expected to grow
at an annual rate of 11 percent over the next 10 years driven largely by the downstream market.

for New Aromatics Project at Chengdu

         Feedstock to the aromatics complex will in part be provided by a new UOP UnicrackingTM
process unit that will process 2.2 million tons per year of heavy gas oil from crude oil and convert it to
more usable products such as diesel, kerosene, and naphtha. The para-xylene complex will also
include a UOP CCR PlatformingTM process unit to convert naphtha to aromatics and hydrogen, a UOP
IsomarTM process unit to convert other xylenes to para-xylene, and a UOP TatorayTM process unit to
increase the yield of para-xylene and benzene.
         This will be the fifth aromatics complex UOP has designed for PetroChina and the sixth
Unicracking unit.
