Nominal plant capacity is 45,000 TPY @ 37% formaldehyde basis.
The plant actually produced as a 50% formaldeyde solution. The plant includes (2) parallel reactors and aor systems feeding into a single absorber. The plant was originally built in 1966, with the addition of the thermal oxidizer in 1994. The plant produced formaldehyde by the direct oxidation of methanol in the presence of a metal oxide catalyst at high temperature.
