BASF Sonatrach PropanChem S.A. (BSP), a joint venture between Spain-based BASF Espala S.A. and Algeria-based Sonatrach Petroleum Investment Corp., has begun trial operation of a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant ?said to be the world largest ?at BASF site in Tarragona, Spain.
BSP invested 240 million euros in the plant construction ?the largest single investment in the Tarragona site history ?and expects to create 70 jobs at the plant.
The company chose the propane dehydrogenation process as an economical option, because only propylene is needed at the site.
his is the first plant in Europe to operate using this innovative technology,?said Jgen Hartig, Ph.D., chairman of the board at BSP.
n the coming years, this process will become increasingly important alongside the conventional steam cracker process for propylene.
