Dow to proceed with polyols capacity expansion
Dow Polyurethanes, a business group of The Dow Chemical Company, announced that it will move forward with the detailed engineering phase of the name-plate capacity expansion of its polyols plant in Terneuzen, The Netherlands. The company announced in March of this year that it had completed a feasibility study to increase polyols production at the facility by 180kt per annum (KTA). Dow expects to begin work on the expansion in early 2008, with completion shortly thereafter. Raw materials for the polyols produced at the site will be sourced from the 300 KTA joint Dow and BASF HPPO facility currently under construction in Antwerp, Belgium. That facility is scheduled to come online in 2008.
