BASF has announced plans to build a world-scale unit to produce hydroxylamine at Ludwigshafen, Germany. The company declined to reveal capacity details for the plant which is scheduled to start up in the first quarter of 1999. A contractor will be appointed at the beginning of next year and the plant will be based on BASF's recently developed proprietary technology. A pilot plant is already in operation.
Hydroxylamine is a speciality chemical used to produce pharmaceuticals and as a building block of polymerisation inhibitors for styrene. The new plant will be large enough to meet the rapidly growing demand, says BASF who will become Europe's sole producer. The facility will be part of the integrated hydroxylamine production complex at the Ludwigshafen site where BASF also manufactures hydroxylamine sulphate, a key raw material for nylon-6 production.
