Petrokemya to expand butadiene capacity at Al Jubail

摘要

Petrokemya, a wholly owned Sabic subsidiary, plans to expand its butadiene extraction plant at Al Jubail. Sabic has awarded KBR a front-end engineering design contract to debottleneck and expand the plant. The existing butadiene extraction plant was built in 1993 with a capacity of 123,000 m.t./year. Petrokemya plans to significantly expand the capacity of the plant. Sabic's consumption of butadiene is rising. Sabic is building a 140,000-m.t./year acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plant within the Petrokemya complex.
