On April 7, the environmental impact assessment for the Phase III C4 Value Chain Optimization Project of BASF-YPC Company Limited was publicly announced for the first time. Previously, on May 29, 2023, the environmental impact assessment for the Phase III C2 Value Chain Expansion Project was announced. This project mainly involves the construction of a new 300,000 tons/year photovoltaic-grade EVA facility. The earlier Phase 2.8 mainly expanded the production capacity of Propionic Acid (PA), Propionaldehyde (PALD), Ethylene Amines (EEA), Ethanolamines (EOA), and Purified Ethylene Oxide (PEO), and built a new Tert-Butyl Acrylate (TBA) unit, which was commissioned in November last year.

Sipchem announced on July 4th on Linkedin to have "signed an Engineering and procurement Sign off of its Expanded Production Capacity for High-VA  Ethylene Vinyl Acetate ( EVA) production plant."

"This investment will enable Sipchem to produce innovative EVA grades designed to support downstream production of Solar Encapsulate Cells as well as certain Hot Melt Adhesives." the company stated. 

The production plant, based on ExxonMobil's tubular reactor technology, belongs to International Polymers Company, a subsidiary JV of Sipchem and 
Hanwha Solutions Corporation, and is installed in Al-Jubail, πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ KSA. 

With a design capacity of 200,000 tpa, the plant is thought to be running at close to 220,000 tpa. Debottlenecking by an additional 70,000 tpa will bring the plant output close to 290,000 tpa.

The company declined to comment on the engineering solution that will be employed to increase the plant capacity.
