摘要

Aither Chemicals (South Charleston, WV) and Pittsburgh’s Renewable Manufacturing Gateway (RMG: Pittsburgh, PA) have signed a letter of engagement to invest about $750-million over the next five years to build an ethane cracker using Aither’s ethane catalytic cracker technology. The location has yet to be determined, but is slated for the tri-state region of eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and northern West Virginia.
