Polynt Reichhold is actively pursuing the designing and engineering activities for the new maleic anhydride plant to be built in the Morris, IL site. The Basic Design has been completed and the detailed engineering phase will be launched in September, together with the preparation for the permitting activities. The main equipment’s suppliers have been contacted and bids are collected for the longer delivery time ones. The activities for securing the sourcing of the raw materials are also under way, and the butane agreement is expected to be finalized before year end.
Mechanical completion is expected by mid 2022, while commissioning and startup are planned before the end of the same year.
