"Having increased our PET capacity in 2005, we see this successful PTA project as a platform for further developments."
Aker Kvaerner has worked on more than 20 PTA facilities spanning more than 20 years. Currently, that represents around 20 per cent of the world's PTA production capacity.
PTA is the preferred raw material for polyester, first introduced in 1951. Today, PTA is used globally as a key ingredient in the manufacture of polyester fibres, tyre cord, resins and films, and in the manufacture of PET.
