The H2O2 plant, to be constructed at the same location as the HPPO plant in the Russian Federation, would supply the planned PO production of Sibur with hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, the estimated capacity is to be sufficiently large that the joint venture would supply the growing market in the Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) with H2O2 for conventional applications, primarily in paper and pulp bleaching processes.

In mid-January, Evonik had started the operation of a significantly expanded hydrogen peroxide facility in Ulsan, Korea, in conjunction with its American joint venture partner, Headwaters of South Jordan, Utah. This facility will supply the Korean H2O2 market, while providing the Korean company SKC in Seoul with hydrogen peroxide, directly “over the fence” from the Ulsan site.

In the coming months, SKC will begin operating one of the first global facilities for producing propylene oxide to use the new HPPO process under license from Evonik and Uhde.
