Styrene Production

SPS EUROCHIM upgraded the existing technology for preparation of styrene by the method of the vapor-phase dehydration of methyl phenyl carbinol. We proposed a new upgraded technology for the decomposition of methyl phenyl carbinol, which allows to increase conversion and selectivity of styrene formation at the existing production site. Our proposals were successfully implemented at PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim (Tatarstan, the Russian Federation) in 2020. Current capacity of styrene production is equal to 182 thousand tons per year.
