據烴加工新聞4月20日消息稱，贏創已投資數百萬歐元，以提高其Marl 工廠的異丁烯衍生物生產能力。C4生產網絡中的異丁烯部分生產石油化工專用的叔丁醇(TBA)、二異丁烯(DiB)和3,5,5-三甲基己醛(TMH)。最近完成的擴建將異丁烯衍生物的產能提高了50%以上。此外，此次擴建提高了客戶的供應安全性、靈活性和產品質量。

贏創的異丁烯特種產品作為醫藥和化工中間體的需求量很大。 “作為歐洲領先的高純度異丁烯衍生物主要供應商，我們愿意迎接挑戰，支持客戶的動態增長并繼續投資于產品質量和供應安全”。“這就是為什么我們在2020年6月就已經開始有針對性地擴展我們的C4 Verbund 并消除現有的生產和物流瓶頸。通過這種方式，我們正在進一步擴大我們在高純度異丁烯衍生物領域的地位，同時也發揮了我們的領導作用。”

轉化工作將Marl生產的 3,5,5-三甲基己醛的純度從88%左右提高到95%以上。客戶將從中受益:未來，他們將能夠在自己的生產過程中直接使用異丁烯衍生物，而無需首先對其進行凈化。

在產能擴張的同時，業務線也在優化物流，更好地滿足客戶需求。Becker說：“在擴張過程中，我們采取了廣泛的措施來顯著提高生產和交付的靈活性。我們目前也在致力于為要求較小的高度專業化客戶行業提供最佳服務，比如香精和香料領域。這為我們的石化專業開辟了全新的應用領域。”

Evonik expands capacities for petrochemical specialties

Evonik has invested a double-digit million euro sum to increase production capacity for isobutene derivatives at its Marl location. The isobutene part of the C4 production network produces the petrochemical specialties tertiary butanol (TBA), di-isobutene (DiB) and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanal (TMH). The expansion, which was recently completed, increases capacity for isobutene derivatives by more than 50%. In addition, the expansion improves security of supply, flexibility and product quality for the customers.

Evonik's isobutene specialties are already in high demand as intermediates for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. "As a leading European key supplier of high-purity isobutene derivatives, we willingly rise to the challenge of supporting our customers' dynamic growth and continuing to invest in product quality and security of supply," said Dr. Hinnerk Gordon Becker, head of the Specialties market segment at Evonik Performance Intermediates. "That's why, in June 2020, we already began the targeted expansion of our C4 Verbund and to eliminate existing bottlenecks in production and logistics. In this way, we are further expanding our position in the field of high-purity isobutene derivatives and also living up to our leadership role."

The conversion work has increased the purity of the 3,5,5-trimethylhexanal produced in Marl from around 88% to more than 95%. Customers will benefit from this: In future, they will be able to use the isobutene derivative directly in their own production process without having to purify it first.

Along with the capacity expansion, the business line is also optimizing logistics to meet customer needs even better. "In the course of the expansion, we have taken extensive measures to significantly increase both production and delivery flexibility," said Becker. "We are currently also working on optimally serving highly specialized customer industries with smaller requirements, such as those in the field of flavors and fragrances. This opens up completely new applications for our petrochemical specialties."
