INEOS has agreed pre-sanction expenditure for a major cracker expansion at its Köln Site, to be brought on-line during 2008. Construction of a EUR40 million unit is planned to begin early in 2007, following the projects final approval expected later this year. Upon completion, the new expansion unit will serve two naphtha crackers and will lead to an additional production of ethylene of around 100,000 tpa.
The additional ethylene will either be used at the Köln Site to produce polyethylene or will be supplied to other INEOS sites via the ARG pipeline system.
