The
Cost of
Upgrading Etna Plant to Raise its Production
is 75 million Euros
1-
The Italian Government afforded 50% of the mentioned sum
in order to convert the plant to one of Europe's
factories that is the least in terms of production cost,
through using a manufacturing technology similar to the
one used in Eco-polymers Company plants, Germany; which
is the continuous polymerization technology
instead of the old technology that consumes much energy.
Eco-polymers company began to successfully produce
Purified Terephthalate Acid (PTA), and the Poly-Ethylene
Terephthalate (PET) from its modernized plants
in Etna,
Italy; that increased the company's production of
Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate (APET) from 113 to
175 thousand metric tons as well as its production of
PET from 113 to 158 thousand tons metric.
