INEOS has announced plans to construct a world-scale PDH (Propane Dehydrogenation) unit in Europe. The plant will produce 750,000 tonnes per annum of propylene for INEOS units across the continent.
A number of possible locations are currently being considered including a number of INEOS sites at Antwerp in Belgium.
INEOS also Intends to increase the ethylene capacity of its cracker facilities at Grangemouth in Scotland and Rafnes in Norway to over 1 MT each.
INEOS currently produces nearly 4.5 MT of ethylene and propylene across Europe, but remains the largest buyer of ethylene and propylene in the region.
In combination, these three major projects will significantly increase the quantities of propylene and ethylene produced by INEOS in Europe, and will support the continued growth and future profitability of INEOS’ ethylene and propylene derivative businesses.
