The EB-plant converts Ethylene and Benzene into Ethylbenzene through a catalytic reaction (Badger vapor phase technology). The nameplate capacity is 610 kt/yr. EB production.
The Styrene plant consists of 2 sections; a Cracking section (EB is in two catalyst filled reactors converted with steam in to Styrene Monomer and Hydrogen (Dehydrogenation). The process operated at high temperatures.
The second unit (Finishing section) purifies the SM an recycles unused EB to the feed of the cracking section.
The nameplate capacity of 530 kt/yr. SM production
