INEOS has announced its plans to invest € 67 million to expand its Grangemouth site. The contract to build an additional furnace on its KG ethylene plant has been awarded by German Selas-Linde.
This investment follows an even larger one which has been just announced. The addition of a tenth furnace, is believed to improve efficiency of the plant and increase its production capacity, to ensure the business can continue meet growing demand for its products.
Subject to planning approval, preparatory project work will begin later in 2018, with the main construction work starting in 2019 and commissioning towards the end of 2020.
