Process Technologies
It is foreseen that AlphaButol® and AlphaHexol™ units with cumulating capacity of 50,000 tons per year of Linear Alpha-Olefins will be included into this complex.
AlphaButol® will supply high purity 1-Butene by ethylene dimerization, while AlphaHexol™ will produce high purity 1-Hexene by ethylene trimerization. Based on homogeneous catalysis and associated to a low investment cost, both technologies are designed and optimized to ensure a flexible and reliable source of high quality co-monomers for downstream Polyolefins applications.
