Davy Process Technology Licenses Octanol Process to Sasol
The 1-octene plant is being built for Sasol Olefins & Surfactants at Sasol's Secunda complex and will be the third and largest of three 1-octene trains at that location, but the first to employ a hydroformylation step. The first two trains, already in operation, use direct extraction of 1-octene from olefinic cuts. The latest train will produce 100,000 metric tons of 1-octene, and is scheduled to go into operation during the second half of 2007.
