✦ Synopsis

World's largest polybutene-1 plant in The Netherlands

At the beginning of May 2004, Basell inaugurated its new polybutene-1 plant in Moerdijk, The Netherlands. With a capacity of 45,000 tonne/y, the plant is the world's largest. The company expects double-digit growth in demand for the polymer, with Asia/Pacific in particular offering good sales opportunities. Global demand is currently 30,000 tonne/y, with Basell supplying around 80%. The plant uses a special catalyst system that delivers a much higher yield and reduces unproductive side reactions. The use of a double reactor increases flexibility enormously. The end result is a polybutene-1 with clearly better properties.
