Dwory SA Styrene Monomer and Polystyrene Capacity Expansion Project. Volume 2 - Technical (Public Version):Export trade information

摘要

One of Dwory's primary objectives is to increase its synthetic rubber production from 80 KTA to 120 KTY, improving operating efficiency while increasing capacity. The synthetic rubber capacity expansion is needed to maintain Dwory's market share in the tire and rubber industry by adding solution styrene-butadiene rubber (sSBR) capacity. The latter will complement Dwory's product range and maintain profitability. After examination of marketing prospects and potential suppliers of the technology, which was executed by the Nexant consultants with TDA grant support, it is now imperative to add a detailed analysis of the optimal method to implement new investment to enable this favorably reviewed project. However, in order to successfully implement such a plant at the investment returns suggested in the previous TDA study, it will be necessary to have accessible additional rubber feedstock (butadiene and styrene).
