(hydrocarbonprocessing) -- The Veracruz ethylene and polyethylene (PE) complex in Mexico, a joint venture between Brazil's Braskem and Mexico's Grupo Idesa, will use hyper compressor and booster compressor technologies from GE. The GE technologies will be key elements of the low-density polyethylene (LPDE) plant.
The Veracruz ethylene and polyethylene (PE) complex in Mexico, a joint venture between Brazil's Braskem and Mexico's Grupo Idesa, will use hyper compressor and booster compressor technologies from GE, project officials said on Monday. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The GE technologies are key elements of the low-density polyethylene (LPDE) plant, officials said. The compressors feature innovative technologies that use less electricity, reduce operating costs and require less maintenance, making the local plant more competitive with imported plastics, GE said.
GE's LDPE compressors feature a scalable design that enables upgrade and capacity additions with little effect on day-to-day operations and that requires very few adjustments, the company said.
