Evonik is investing a total of approximately $636.5 million (euro 500 million) in the new production plant, which is planned to produce 150,000 metric tons per annum of amino acid DL-methionine, together with all the strategically important intermediates. The integrated complex is scheduled for a 2014 start up. This increased capacity further consolidates Evonik's market leadership in the core business of methionine, which is in high demand in the animal feed industry. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
