Antwerp, Belgium — BASF announced on 23 January that it had completed a 90 kt/year increase to its capacity for MDI at its site here.
The capacity rise brings the annual production of MDI in Antwerp to 650 kT/year. This relatively small increase in capacity was due to de-bottlenecking an existing plant, a spokesman's told UTECH-polyurethane.com.
The spokesman confirmed that basic engineering is underway, for the planned expansion of the company's capacity for MDI in Geismar, Louisiana.
