PET Polymerisation Plant with Capacity 440 Tons/Day Including Draw Lines and Spinning Machines

Description

Used PET polymerisation plant consisting of two lines for the production of PET chips and staple fibre. The plant was built in 1996 using John Brown Deutsche Engineering technology and mothballed in 2024.
The approximate capacity of each line is 220 to 240 tonnes/day (nameplate capacity 180 tonnes/day).

**Line D:**
PTA powder and MEG along with recycled EG are mixed in a paste tank. This then goes through two stages of esterification to produce monomer. The monomer is converted to polymer in a two-stage polycondensation process.
Polymer melt is then divided into two lines: one line goes to a 180 TPD granulation system to make PET chips, and the other line goes to a 25 TPD spinning and draw line for woven and non-woven commodity and speciality staple fibre products of 1.3, 2.3, 3 and 6D.

**Line E:**
PTA powder and MEG along with recycled EG are mixed in a paste tank. This then goes through two stages of esterification to produce monomer. The monomer is converted to polymer in a two-stage polycondensation process.
Polymer melt is then divided into two lines: one line goes to a 180 TPD granulation system to make PET chips, and the other line goes to 120 TPD spinning machines (2) and Neumag Oerlikon draw line for regular commodity staple fibre of 1.3D.
