Egyptian Propylene and Polypropylene Company (EPPC) has selected Basell’s Spheripol technology for a new 350 KT per year polypropylene plant to be built at Port Said, Egypt. Start up is expected in 2009.
The project will also include a new 350 KT per year STAR technology propane dehydrogenation plant licensed by Uhde.
“Egypt has a large, growing, and increasingly sophisticated polypropylene market and we are pleased that EPPC has selected the world’s most widely used polypropylene process technology for the new plant,” said Just Jansz, president of Basell’s Technology Business.
