en.Wedoany.com Reported - Industrial company Thyssenkrupp Uhde has recently reached an agreement with KÖKSAN to build a third PET production line for the company in Gaziantep, Turkey. The plant employs Uhde Inventa-Fischer's proprietary Melt-To-Resin (MTR®) process, which reduces energy consumption by simplifying the polymerization steps.

Thyssenkrupp Uhde is responsible for licensing, basic and detailed engineering design, and the supply of all core plant equipment for this project. As a light-gain insight, the project is currently in the engineering design execution phase. Thyssenkrupp's technical experts will simultaneously commence specialized training for KÖKSAN's operational personnel to ensure a swift transition to production operation after equipment delivery.

The PET resins of various grades produced by this line will target the local Turkish market and be exported to markets in the Middle East, the Americas, Europe, and Africa. KÖKSAN already operates two similar production lines locally. This investment aims to increase production capacity and reduce capital expenditure through process upgrades. The introduction of the MTR process eliminates the reliance on the traditional solid-state polymerization stage in PET resin production, thereby directly achieving energy consumption reduction.

Currently, both teams are aligning on process details and equipment specifications. Subsequent steps will involve the delivery and installation of major plant equipment according to project milestones. The construction of this project will further complement the chemical infrastructure of the Gaziantep industrial park and enhance the supply capacity of high-performance PET materials.
