Israel`s Dankner group is negotiating with the Jamaican government for conversion of the Pertojam refinery into a petrochemical complex. The plan represents a revival of a year-old proposal by the Jamaican opposition leader Edward Seaga. It calls for a $120-million upgrade of the refinery, including a catalytic cracker and a $150-million chlor-alkali facility to produce 550,000 m.t./year of chlorine that would in turn be used to produce 300,000 m.t./year of polvinyl chloride. Jamaica is a major importer of caustic soda, consuming about 330,000 m.t./year in its bauxite industry.
