BRAZIL
Location
Styrene Production
- Capacity – pie chart
- Narrowed down to…..
- China – 3% growth 30% worldwide market
- Middle East -12% growth
- Brazil – 47% local styrene is imported
- 200 000 Mt in 2012 to 500 000 Mt in 2030
- Supply-demand gap in the next 15 years which we can fulfil
Location
Ethylbenzene Production
Production Routes
Group B3
Our Route
- Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene
- Propylene Oxide/Styrene Monomer (POSM) from Ethylbenzene
- From toluene and methanol
- Bio-production using sugars
- The only viables options are 1 and 2
- 3 or 4 are still in research
- 5 is very small production rates per plant which makes it undesirable – not viable
- Styrene is only a by-product from 2 and therefore was discarded
- 1 is the most widely implemented method worldwide – producing EB as well
