15-Mar-05

Samsung Total Petrochemicals Co. has selected Pavilion's polymer APC solution on its A-Train polypropylene line at it's Daesan, Korea manufacturing facility, based upon Mitsui's Hypol I process technology. This marks the fourth major polyolefin producer in the last four months to select Pavilion's advanced process control solution. The expected increase in market growth in China, the global demand for new materials, and the rising cost of raw materials make the deployment of APC an industry necessity. Samsung Total will deploy Pavilion's polymer APC application suite to enhance control of the reactor, extruder and transition process. Pavilion's advanced process control solution will enable Samsung to increase production, enhance product quality, and reduce variable costs. Adoption of Pavilion's technology will enable Samsung to meet China's growing demand for polypropylene. China is a primary market for Samsung Total's Daesan facility, strategically located 400 kilometers from China's Shandong region.
