Leading in sustainability and cost competitiveness
Fibrant as part of Highsun is the world leader in Caprolactam with production locations in Geleen (the Netherlands), Nanjing and Fuzhou (China). 25% of Caprolactam production worldwide runs on Fibrant HPO® or HPOplus technology. Fibrant’s patented HPO® and HPOplus process technology produces excellent quality Caprolactam and Ammonium Sulfate. Both our Hydranone®, HPO® and HPOplus technology contribute to a sustainable Caprolactam business combined with competitive investment and production costs. The technologies excel in low energy and (cooling) water consumption which settles the process as being the lowest in Carbon Footprint next to reducing the Utility investments.
Due to our long-term and global experience since 1952 we were able to create safe and reliable processes. To our partners we can provide licenses and a broad range of development and design services for their chemical plants and installations. We strive to be a consistent technology and knowledge partner in order to optimize production processes and create pure chemistry together.
Hydranone® licenses
Our Hydranone® technology produces high quality Cyclohexanone through Phenol hydrogenation. The Hydranone® technology is currently the most sustainable Cyclohexanone technology combining a very efficient raw material usage with low energy, low (cooling) water usage and low waste. Integrated with phenol production leads to lowest cost process.
Recent licenses:
- July 2017: 200 kta Hydranone® licensed to Shen Yuan
- October 2018: 200 kta Hydranone® licensed to Shen Yuan
Hydranone® technology
Hydranone® technology and related services concern Cyclohexanone production. Cyclohexanone is mostly consumed in the production of nylon intermediates (adipic acid and Caprolactam), but around 4% are used for solvents for paints, dyes and pesticides and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, films, soaps and coatings. Our Hydranone® services therefore are part of our research and development of chemical production or quality evaluation and improvement services carried out by our engineers, chemists and physicists, comprising
inter alia the development, design and adaptation of chemical plants and installations, related technical feasibility studies, engineering surveys, chemical laboratory services in the field of the environmental protection in order to achieve sustainable technical optimization.
Contact Fibrant at ask.us@fibrant52.com to discuss your needs and how to meet them.
HPO® and HPOplus licenses
Our HPO® and HPOplus technology produces high quality products that can be used for high end applications (High Speed Spinning). Energy and water usage is significantly lower than for other Caprolactam processes. Moreover, HPO® and HPOplus can be combined with technology to produce large Ammonium Sulfate crystals with excellent strength. Our broad range of development and design services will enable our licensees to exploit these advantages in their chemical plants and installations.
Recent licenses:
- November 2013: 200 kta Caprolactam plant in Nanjing
- August 2017: 3 lines of 200 kta Caprolactam licensed to Shenyuan (SCC)
HPO® services
HPO® services enable you to produce high-end polyamide products using our HPO® technology and know-how in a reliable and sustainable manner.
Our industrial HPO® engineering and consultancy services comprise broad range of activities, such as technical feasibility studies, the development and design of new chemical plants and installations or extensions thereof, the upscaling of chemical processes, and also plant related acceptance or warranty testing of plants and chemical processes.

Oxanone® licenses
Fibrant’s Oxanone® technology uses the un-catalyzed cyclohexane air oxidation process with relative high yield and lower energy consumption, resulting in the right quality Cyclohexanone.
Recent licenses:
- September 2016: Cyclohexanone license to KuibybshevAzot (in Top-20 energy-efficient companies)
- November 2014: optimization to state of the art Oxidation plant at Univex, Mexico

Ammonium Sulfate licenses
Fibrant’s Ammonium Sulfate (AS) technology produces various grades of high purity (larger) crystal AS. If combined with the HPOplus the energy consumption is reduced to almost zero.
Recent licenses:
- November 2013: Nanjing
- August 2017: Shen Yuan
- July 2015: Geleen
