Volume 92, Issue 47
BP plans to invest more than $200 million to upgrade purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plants at Cooper River, S.C., and in Geel, Belgium. BP says the project will make the facilities among the most efficient of their kind in the world.

BP expects to complete its upgrade of one plant at Cooper River and two in Geel by the end of 2016.
