DETAILS
BASF and PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG)
will build a new world-scale production plant for
2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHAcid)
at the site of their existing joint venture,
in Kuantan, Malaysia.
The construction of this plant,
which will be the first of its kind in the ASEAN region,
is expected to commence in Q2 of 2015.
The plant,
with a total annual capacity of 30,000 metric tons of 2-EHAcid,
is expected to start production
in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The new plant will benefit from
backward integration into the site,
allowing high delivery reliability and
maximizing efficient use of energy and feedstock.
