SIBUR Selects Engineering Company for Construction of Ethyl Benzene Plant in Perm

Sibur-Khimprom CJSC (Perm) has signed a contract with Korean company TOYO for engineering, procurement and installation support for a planned new ethyl benzene plant with a capacity of 220,000 tonnes per annum (tpa). The facility is expected to come on stream in late 2010.
In 2007, US company Badger Licensing LLC was selected as licensor and designer of the new plant. It will use the most up-to-date technology based on zeolite catalysts, thereby completely eliminating atmospheric emissions of hydrogen chloride and aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as contamination of effluent by chlorides, aluminium salts and phenols.
