This expansion is one of the series of projects that Albemarle is undertaking to meet the growing demand for its metallocene/single site finished catalyst business.
A separate production facility is also being constructed in Yeosu, Korea to help meet this demand, the company said.
Albemarle Performance Catalyst Solutions (PCS) division vice president Amy Motto said the new train will add to the capacity in our existing facilities at the PDC.
"The increased capacity is needed to meet the growing demand for finished single site catalysts used in the polyolefin industry including Albemarle’s ActivCat technology," Motto added.
