(PlastEurope) -- Masqat-based Octal (Oman) says it is on
target to commission its new PET hub in the sultanate’s Salalah free zone in May
2012. The new plant will include two DPET production lines, with capacity for
263,000 t/y each, raising Octal’s production capacity in Salalah to 927,000 t/y,
"making it the largest in the world on site", the company
says.

A completely integrated facility, the Salalah PET hub was designed to
yield the lower carbon footprint products, Octal says, adding that the plant
uses 67% less electricity to manufacture DPET sheet and 38% less energy in the
production of DPET resin. The facility is also able to recycle trim waste during
the manufacturing process.
