The facility will initially have 300,000 tonnes/year of BDO, 100,000 tonnes/year of PBAT and 60,000 tonnes/year of PTMEG capacities, as the first phase. The company eyes start-up of the first phase by June 2023.
The project’s eventual capacity is designed as 900,000 tonnes/year of BDO, 600,000 tonnes/year of PBAT and 300,000 tonnes/year of PTMEG.
