Project Description
The 750 000 t facility is a fully integrated cumene plant using existing pipeline connections between INEOS’s phenol and acetone production site in Gladbeck, the Evonik Chemiepark in Marl, and the BP refinery and cracker complex in Gelsenkirchen.
The facility produces up to 50% lower carbon dioxide emissions per tonne of product because of pioneering cumene technology, together with unique heat integration, at the Marl Chemical Park.
Most of the waste heat from the plant is used for a district heating circle, further reducing the carbon footprint of the site.
