Petrochemical Plant: Epichlorohydrin Plant in Thailand

Thailand is planning to build an epichlorohydrin plant. The epichlorohydrin plant was considered as "green friendly" chemical plant with total cost in the range of $200 million using Solvay's technology.

The EPH plant would be able to produce 100 ktpa epichlorohydrin for epoxy resin production. The green friendly chemical plant tagname comes from the feedstock for the plant which will use 110 ktpa of glycerin as the raw materials, a renewable source from biodiesel by-products.

The step was seen by analysts as a good venture into not only renewable petrochemicals for Thailand but also expanding Mab Ta Phut petrochemical complex. Solvay is ranked no four as world's largest producer of ephicholorohydrin.
