Volume 85, Issue 52
Braskem, Brazil's largest private chemical maker, and Venezuelan state chemical company Pequiven have hammered out agreements for a pair of projects in Venezuela. One involves a 450,000-metric-ton-per-year polypropylene plant that will be fed with propylene made via propane dehydrogenation. The complex is expected to open in 2010 and cost about $900 million.
