(Braskem) -- Braskem-Idesa, a joint
venture between the Brazilian petrochemical producer Braskem and the Mexican
group Idesa, took another important step towards the development of the Ethylene XXI project in Mexico. The JV selected the
Lupotech T process technology of the Dutch company LyondellBasell for the 300 kt
LDPE (low density polyethylene) plant, which is one of the
three polyethylene plants of the Mexico project, with start up slated for 2015.
The industrial unit will be built in the region of the Coatzacoalcos/Nanchital
Petrochemical Complexes in the state of Veracruz.
The Lupotech T technology is owned by the Dutch company LyondellBasell
and is the most widely used process in high-pressure units, which will guarantee
the best possible performance for the investment. This will be the first license
for a tubular LDPE plant in Mexico and the Americas in over 20 years.
