thyssenkrupp wins contract to build three major polymer plants

thyssenkrupp Uhde’s subsidiary, Uhde Inventa-Fischer, has signed a contract to build three major polymer plants for SASA Polyester Sanayi A.Ş in Adana, Turkey.

thyssenkrupp Uhde’s subsidiary, Uhde Inventa-Fischer, has signed a contract to build three major polymer plants for SASA Polyester Sanayi A.Ş in Adana, Turkey.

One plant is planned to produce 1050 metric tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) per day for low viscosity applications, combined with a Co-PET plant with a capacity of 100 metric tons per day.

The third plant will use Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s proprietary patented melt-to-resin (MTR) technology to produce 330,000 tons per year of resin for PET bottles.

The MTR process eliminates the solid-state polycondensation and leads to substantial energy savings. It reduces investment, operating and maintenance costs, has a higher raw material yield and results in products of superior quality. The MTR process is based on Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s 2-Reactor technology which uses the patented ESPREE and DISCAGE reactors to obtain the desired high melt viscosities.
