OQ Building Propionic Aldehyde Plant To Support Rohm's New MMA Facility

摘要

Houston-OQ Chemicals has made a final investment decision (FID) to increase capacity of propionic aldehyde to supply Rohm's new methyl methacrylate (MMA) plant being built at OQ's production site in Bay City, Texas (PCN, 5 July 2021, p 2). The 250,000-t/y MMA plant will utilize Rohm's latest LiMA technology, enabling a high yield with low energy consumption and reduced wastewater volumes. Mechanical completion is expected by the first quarter of 2024.
