Celanese Secures Additional CO Supply at Nanjing Complex to Support Future Expansion
Celanese Corporation announced that it has entered into a long-term supply agreement with Wison to secure availability of carbon monoxide (CO), a critical raw material, to support future expansion at its Nanjing, China, integrated chemical complex.
Wison is the current CO supplier for the Celanese acetic acid facility at the Nanjing complex. The acetic acid facility began operation in mid-2007 and has a capacity of 600,000 tons, which can be expanded to 1.2 million tons with relatively minor capital investment.
When fully operational, the Celanese Nanjing integrated chemical complex will include production facilities for other acetyl products, acetic anhydride and vinyl acetate monomer, as well as facilities for emulsions, polymer production and compounding.
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
