Cepsa says its linear alkylbenzene plant in Spain is one of the largest in the world.
The Spanish oil and chemical company Cepsa has completed the conversion of its linear alkylbenzene (LAB) plant in San Roque, Spain, from a hydrofluoric acid–catalyzed production process to the Detal process that Cepsa developed with UOP. The new process uses a solid-bed zeolite catalyst. Cepsa says the $140 million conversion will reduce emissions, waste generation, and water consumption during the production of LAB, a detergent raw material.
