Perstorp invests SEK 60 m in potassium formate production
"The conversion is based on Perstorp's own technology, which generates formate as a co-product during our polyol production. The schedule for the conversion is tight; we will start producing potassium formate in Ghent in Q1 next year, closely followed by the Perstorp plant where start-up is planned in summer 2006," says Lennart Hagelqvist, Executive Vice President, Operations.
The expansion will take place in stages, and the converted facilities are planned to start operation in 2006.
