Ineos said that it has launched a feasibility study as it plans to build a new world-scale ethylidene norbornene (ENB) production unit. This would represent a second ENB asset for Ineos joining the existing production unit in Antwerp, Belgium, itself the subject of a recently announced capacity expansion due to be complete by late 2019.
A number of locations in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions are being considered for the new unit, as well as the option of adding a second line in Antwerp.
The aim is to have the second ENB unit on stream by 2023. Ineos is also reviewing investment options to secure additional supply of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) to feed the new ENB unit.
