SINGAPORE (ICIS)--
Construction of the facility began on 25 April this year and is expected to be completed in 18 months, the statement said.
The new SM unit is the first of a two-phased (CNY) 300m ($47.6m) project that the firm is investing in, according to a source with the local government.
“The second phase will include an 110,000 tonne/year cyclohexanone plant, a 100,000 tonne/year caprolactam plant and a 300,000 tonne/year expandable polystyrene (EPS) plant,” the source said.
The firm plans to add CNY10bn to its yearly revenues once it achieves commercial operations at the two-phased project, the source added.
