Bayer MaterialScience plans to build a new aniline production plant in Antwerp, Belgium. It is to have a capacity of 50,000 t/a and reach completion in early 2006. An innovative process will be used for the first time, which above all cuts investment and manufacturing costs. The new facility will be in the immediate vicinity of an existing aniline plant in Antwerp, the capacity of which is likewise to be increased by 25,000 t/a to reach 165,000 t/a by the end of 2005. The total investment for both projects amounts to some 20 million Euro.
