Invista Performance Technologies (IPT) has announced the success of its latest P8 PTA technology deployed on Jiaxing Petrochemical’s second purified terephthalic acid (PTA) Line. Started up in record time in December 2017, the plant is now consistently operating at 100 per cent design rate with a variable cost performance better than target.

Jiaxing Petrochemical’s second PTA Line is now firmly established as the global leader in terms of raw material and utility consumptions.

“It is a proud moment for IPT, seeing our P8 PTA technology demonstrate the productivity and variable cost performance that we promised to the market and our loyal customer, Jiaxing. This would not have been possible without the excellent teamwork and meticulous efforts put in by Jiaxing Petrochemicals and IPT teams,” IPT president Mike Pickens said.

Appreciating the performance of Jiaxing Petrochemical’s second PTA line, Tongkun Group president Xu said, “The second PTA line is running well, and we look forward to continued support from Invista for further optimisation of the plant.”

“This represents yet another major achievement by IPT in the innovative development and successful deployment of industry leading PTA technologies aimed at creating competitive advantage for our global customers,” Invista said in a press release. (RKS)
