- Description
- Sadara will be using two different Technologies to produce 400,000 tons per year of Polyether Polyols. A Batch Process will produce 70,000 tons per year of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Catalyst Plant for Moulding Polyols (for use in Rigid End-Products) and a continuous 330,000 tons per year of DMC Catalyst Plant for Slab Polyols (for Flexible End-Products) integrated with Propylene Oxide and Ethylene Oxide Feedstocks. In the KOH process Sadara will produce Low Molecular Weight Polyols, which will serve as an intermediate Building Block for the High Molecular Weight Products. In the Continuous Process the Reaction goes through two separate Oxide feed and Digestion cycles. The Oxide type (Propylene or Ethylene Oxide), charge amount, reaction temperature and digestion time/temperature depend on the specific Product to be manufactured. It is assumed that about 3.5 weight-% of the Low Molecular Weight Triol from the KOH Plant is used as an initiator in the DMC Plant.
