Basell, NGC, NEC and Lurgi have entered into MOU for integrated polypropylene complex in Trinidad and Tobago
The MOU includes the construction of a methanol plant, which will exclusively supply a methanol-to-propylene unit at the complex. The propylene produced at the complex will be the feedstock for a world-scale 450 KT per year polypropylene plant based on Basell's Spherizone technology. Start up is tentatively scheduled for 2012. The whole project will be undertaken in conjunction with Lurgi AG, the industry leader in methanol and methanol-to-propylene (MTP) technology. The polypropylene complex is one of the cornerstones of the country's strategy to promote downstream diversification and to build the foundation for a value adding local plastics industry.
