Oxea Expands Its Global Carboxylic Acids Production and Will Produce Butyric Acid in North America
15 Oct 2008 -
In an effort to increase its operational flexibility the global chemical company Oxea has decided to produce Butyric acid at its North American production site in Bay City, Texas. The existing Carboxylic acids production plant will receive significant upgrading in order to produce the same reliable quality as currently delivered from Marl, Germany. The changes to the unit are expected to be completed
in Q3/2009. The expansion in Bay City and process improvements in Marl and Oberhausen will result in an increase of Oxea's global production output of Carboxylic acids by 25-30 percent. Butyric acids find use in the production of flavors and fragrances, lubricants, siccatives (drying agents) and polymer stabilizers.
