Japanese oil refiner Cosmo Oil will boost its presence in the Asian aromatics business. The firm will take a 50% stake in a 380,000-metric-ton-per-year p-xylene plant and related facilities operated by Hyundai Oilbank in Daesan, South Korea. The two companies have also agreed to build a $1 billion, 800,000-metric-ton p-xylene unit at the site by 2012, mainly to supply the Chinese polyester market. Hyundai Oilbank is 70% owned by the government of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In addition, Cosmo plans to build a mixed xylene unit in Yokkaichi, Japan, by 2011.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
