OSTI ID:245496

DSM is carrying out a feasibility study to increase capacity of the older of its two naphtha crackers at Geleen, the Netherlands. Linde, original supplier of the plant, and Stone & Webster, will carry out parallel studies, likely to lead to 15% increase in the capacity of the 455,000-m.t./year cracker. The study will take 12 weeks to complete and is expected to lead to the work being carried out during the next turnaround, in August 1998. DSM is already adding a combined 40,000 m.t./year at the company`s two crackers in Geleen, the Netherlands. Onstream target is mid-1996.
