• This unit is part of an integrated facility that sits on 57 acres of land, two-thirds of which are undeveloped. 
  
• The facility produces Methyl Amines for use in Higher Amines and Amine Derivatives.
  
• The purpose of the DMF plant is to react dimethylamine (DMA) from the methyl amines plant, with carbon monoxide from the Oil Gas Plant and with sodium methoxide catalyst to produce dimethylformamide (DMF) for external sale.
  
• The current capacity of the plant is approx. 24,000 tpa

Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) is a continous operation produced by the reaction of DMA (from the Methylamines Plant) and carbon monoxide (from the Oil Gas Plant) at a capacity of 24,000 metric tons per year. 

The DMF plant is located between the Methylamines Plant and the Oil Gas Plant at the northern area of the site.  Approximately 800 tons of DMF is stored at the site in two large tanks, located adjacent to the north side of the plant.  Sodium methoxide (recieved as a solution in methanol) is used as a catalyst in the manufacture of DMF.
