Sulzer Chemtech has received an order for the design, construction, and delivery of six high-tech polystyrene reactors for the Chinese petrochemical market segment. Worth more than CNY 15 million, this is by far the largest order ever received by Sulzer Chemtech’s Mixing and Reaction Technology business unit. This project is related to a new and very large petrochemical complex to be built in Shanghai. The Sulzer delivery concerns six polymerisation reactors for polystyrene production, where controlled removal of heat and perfect mixing conditions enhance the product yield and quality. The customer is Shanghai SECCO Petrochemicals Company Ltd. The major part of the project will be executed in Switzerland and Europe.
