Pilot Facilities for Polymer Trials

Lab-scale Pilot Plant is available:

Raw material from customers can be used for producing Polymers

Raw material and resulting polymer quality can be analyzed and evaluated

Pilot plant design allows simulation of different process parameter


Polycarbonate Trials – Optimal Material selection

Lab scale pilot plant is available for trials

Inadequate material selection may lead to a reaction between the phenol and the reactor material resulting in product

discoloration


Technology Advantages of ---ö

– No steam required in the plant

– Disposal of Saline water not required.

– Plant capacity adjustability (60% -100%)

– MFI adjustability – wider range & quicker change-over time

– Accurate MFI control (online viscosity measurement)

– Production of multiple PC grades possible (simultaneously)

– Optimal material selection as part of design – Minimal discoloration / corrosion

– No oxygen ingress – due to welded seals

– No catalyst inhibitor required

– High transparency end-product

– Higher plant availability – reduced downtime - continual operation possible during scheduled

maintenance

– Patented reactor design (hydraulic-driven finishing reactors & self-cleaning)

– Integrated phenol recovery - High purity spent Phenol / spent DPC

– All gaseous emissions controlled by incineration

– Multi –stage transesterification – high level of process control

Licensing Advantages of ---ö

versus

other PC technology Licensors

No restrictive license terms

Produce the PC Grades you want

Produce the PC Quantities you want

Sell into the Global Market

– Where you want to sell & when you want to sell.

No ongoing license fees

A one-off payment for EPC know-how.
