Zeolyst International Announces Completion of New Plant Expansions in the US and the Netherlands
Zeolyst International announced today that it has completed the addition of new manufacturing capacity to its two manufacturing sites in Kansas City, KS, USA, and in Delfzijl, The Netherlands.
The new capacity addition to Kansas City is focused on pressure synthesized zeolites and increases the overall plant capacity by about40%. The new capacity addition to Delfzijl is directed at producing Ultra-Stable Y-Zeolite and increases the overall plant capacity by about 50%.
This new capacity in both sites will support the overall growth of Zeolyst International’s markets in petrochemical and chemical syntheses, and addresses emerging demands in emission control for heavy duty diesel vehicles and in hydrocracking for low-sulfur fuels.
According to John Lau, General Manager, “We are extremely pleased that these capital projects were completed on
time, insuring that we are able to meet the business demands of our customers in this dynamic market. This new capacity is the first phase of a number of additional expansions being planned from now to 2011.”
