The maleic anhydride plant, finalized to a future production of biodegradable plastics, will have a capacity of 50,000 tons per year and will be located in Oman
Nextchem’s subsidiary Conser will develop a feasibility study to optimize production and enhance efficiency of an existing maleic anhydride facility through its proprietary technology
The FID signifies the start of the plant’s project execution phase that will upgrade and rejuvenate the facilities to produce refined MAn, which is targeted to be ready by second half of 2025.
McDermott's scope includes project management and consultancy services for the unit, including front-end engineering design (FEED), review of engineering activities, construction supervision services, assistance in start-up, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance guarantee test run and project closure.
Using the SynDane catalyst in a new, more efficient production technology with larger tubes, Wanhua stands to benefit from annual energy savings of up to 24,000 MWh
The acquisition will enable PCG to broaden its current product portfolio and strengthen its focus to diversify into derivatives and differentiated chemicals
The plant will become operational by late 2023 and this investment is planned as the first of three phase investment
TCLS USA expects to start production by the late summer of 2023.
