Dimensions
Diphenyl Carbonate (DPC-500 tons/annum) Demo unit at SJI in Singapore was constructed and run for few years now under mothballing will re-start.
DPC is an intermediate used in the production of polycarbonate, and the Shell process offers firm improvements over competing processes.
Poly Carbonate development unit, unique downscaled unit, it will run on DPC produced from concurrent operation of our existing DPC demo unit and operate the combined DPC/PC Development Unit for 4-5 years
The DPC-technology fits well with the strategy of the Chemicals COB in that it positions Shell as a technology leader, and it fits with the current Shell portfolio (the phenol and EO/EG businesses).
