SAFETY SYSTEM GETS EXPANDED ROLE

摘要

BASF'S LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, site now includes a new world-scale production facility with the capacity to produce 90,000 mt/y of acetylene. The process uses raw materials very efficiently, providing high yield, while the heat given off during production will serve for generating energy. Around 20 production units at the Ludwigshafen complex use acetylene as a starting material for a wide variety of products. The construction site spanned 40,000 m~2. Around 750 employees and contractors usually worked on the site every day, rising to as many as 1,500 people per day in peak times. The plant required a total of 35,000 m~3 of concrete and 8,500 mt of steel.
