EVONIK IMPROVES RAW MATERIAL SUPPLY VIA FCC-C4
Intelligent production network optimization allows use of an unique raw material from refineries
- Performance Intermediates produces several thousand metric tons of industrial chemicals such as MTBE, plasticizers and butadiene every day
- Performance Intermediates is the only producer worldwide who - in addition to applying Steam Cracker based “Crude C4” - can also make use of an unique raw material from refineries: Fluid Catalytic Cracking based “FCC-C4”
- Through intelligent production network optimization and a modest capital investment, the business line has increased its processing capacity of FCC-C4 by 25%
- This indicates: High investments can be avoided by making smart decisions
