Sinopec Yizheng selects Invista P8++ PTA Technology

Sinopec Yizheng previously utilised IPT’s P6 PTA technology for its 450,000 te/annum second PTA line. "This is a further confirmation of INVISTA’s strategy of relentlessly improving its PTA technology offering, through a combination of increased scale, reduced capital and variable cost per tonne of PTA, and greater sustainability," Invista said in a press release.

“These 3 million te/annum PTA plants is a major project for Sinopec during the 14^th five-year plan period and a critical project for Sinopec Yizheng as well. I look forward to the cooperation between the two parties. To ensure the success of the project, we will execute the project in an effective manner by setting the goal as ‘excellent quality, fast schedule and profitable investment’,” Sinopec Yizheng’s general manager Guo Xiaojun said during a recent project kick-off meeting.

“Following the experience of working directly with the Sinopec Yizheng team on the second PTA line in 2003, I am excited by this new chapter in the partnership between our organisations. The manufacturing capability of Sinopec Yizheng combined with Invista’s industry leading PTA technology is a great fit, which should meet the ambitious project goals set by Guo Xiaojun,” said IPT vice president of PTA Adam Sackett.

Invista’s industry-leading PTA technology, including its latest version of P8 technology, is available as a license package from IPT.
