APLA ’16: Argentina cracker likely LatAm's next big project

摘要

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (ICIS)--Dow Chemical’s planned ethane cracker in Argentina is the most likely and the only major project to be built in Latin America, a consultant said on Sunday. “Whether it’s a new cracker or an expansion of the current complex in Bahia Blanca, it certainly will not have competition in the beginning [of its operation] - it’s a great opportunity for them to capture a large part of the Brazil market,” said Jorge Buhler- Vidal, director of Polyolefins Consulting.
