Because of projected nylon-6,6 growth of 4—10% (167) per year in the Far East, several companies have announced plans for that area. A Rhc ne-Poulenc/Oriental Chemical Industry joint venture (Kofran) announced a 1991 startup for a 50,000-t/yr plant in Onsan, South Korea (168,169). Asahi announced plans for a 15,000-t/yr expansion of adipic acid capacity at their Nobeoka complex in late 1989, accompanied by a 60,000-t/yr cyclohexanol plant at Mizushima based on their new cyclohexene hydration technology (170). In early 1990 the Du Pont Company announced plans for a major nylon-6,6 complex for Singapore, including a 90,000-t/yr adipic acid plant due to start up in 1993 (167). Plans or negotiations for other adipic acid capacity in the area include Formosa Plastics (Taiwan) (171) and BASF-Hyundai Petrochemical (South Korea) (167). Adipic acid is a truly worldwide... [Pg.245]

Worldwide capacity for ethylene oxide should be boosted by ca 2 x 10 t/yr to a total of 11.6 x 10 t/yr by 1995. Projects underway are Hsted ia Table 13. Additions have been aimounced by Union Carbide ia the United States and Canada, Formosa Plastics and Shell ia the United States, BASF ia Belgium (rebuild of an existiag unit), and SABIC ia Saudi Arabia (100,101). Expansions have also been aimounced ia South Korea and India, and may occur ia other countries as well. [Pg.463]

There are 12 producers of ethylene oxide in the United States. Table 9 shows the plant locations, estimated capacities, and types of processes employed. The total U.S. production capacity for 1992 was ca 3.4 x 106 metric tons. The percentages of total domestic production made by the air- and oxygen-based processes are ca 20 and 80%, respectively. The largest producer is Union Carbide Corp. with approximately one-third of the United States ethylene oxide capacity. About 94% of domestic ethylene oxide capacity is located on the Gulf Coast near secure and plentiful ethylene supplies. Plans for additional U.S. production in the 1990s have been announced by Union Carbide (incremental expansions), Formosa Plastics (at Pt. Comfort, Texas), and Shell (at Geismar, Louisiana) (101). [Pg.454]
