LANXESS strengthens phosphorus chemicals network

Capacity increase for a main pillar of synthetic chemistry

01-Nov-2012 - Germany

LANXESS has invested EUR 5 million in its phosphorus chemicals production network in Leverkusen. One of the largest of its kind in the world, this network is the foundation for efficient production, global availability and high supply reliability. The newly implemented measures will result in a capacity increase of ten percent for phosphorus chlorides. “In addition to debottlenecking the production unit, we improved the logistics concepts for our drum- and tank car-filling facilities. That gives us even more flexibility. We are well equipped now to meet the increased demand on the global market,” says Jorge Nogueira, head of the Functional Chemicals (FCC) business unit.
