TPC Group to Expand its Polyisobutylene Capacity

摘要

Houston, USA: TPC Group announced an achievement of another significant milestone in its comprehensive expansion program to increase polyisobutylene (PIB) capacity.TPC's Board of Directors has approved the front end engineering and design (FEED) to finalise the design and cost estimate for the installation of a third PIB production unit. This project is targeted to satisfy future industry growth, mainly resulting from anticipated changes in fuel and lubricant additive standards beginning in the second half of 2017. These higher standards are driving substantial growth in demand for highly reactive polyisobutylene, which TPC Group manufactures using its proprietary process.
