據(jù)烴加工2021年6月9日報道，美國陶氏化學公司計劃在其位于德克薩斯州自由港的世界規(guī)模生產(chǎn)基地建造一個綜合二苯基甲烷二異氰酸酯（MDI）蒸餾和預聚物設(shè)施。這項投資支持了下游聚氨酯系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)品不斷增長的需求，并提高了陶氏化學公司在建筑、消費和工業(yè)市場中具有吸引力的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先地位，這些領(lǐng)域的增長將超過國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值（GDP）。
新建的自由港MDI工廠將取代陶氏化學公司目前在德克薩斯州La Porte的北美產(chǎn)能，也將能夠為陶氏化學業(yè)公司客戶提供額外30%的產(chǎn)品。隨著MDI新工廠的啟動，陶氏化學公司將在2023年關(guān)閉其在La Porte的聚氨酯資產(chǎn)。
陶氏化學公司工業(yè)中間體和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施運營部門總裁Jane Palmieri表示：“此次MDI投資優(yōu)化了我們現(xiàn)有的資產(chǎn)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，增強了我們在全球聚氨酯領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)導地位，進一步使我們能夠支持下游系統(tǒng)客戶的增長。”“在自由港基地的背面集成創(chuàng)造了一個具有成本競爭力的上游聚氨酯原材料供應(yīng)，確保了一個可靠的供應(yīng)位置，以支持我們在下游高價值聚氨酯市場的增長，并提供了一個更可持續(xù)的生產(chǎn)過程。”
位于自由港的新MDI工廠將減少陶氏化學公司的碳足跡和水的使用量：
? 通過利用自由港基地現(xiàn)有的熱能，消除對火力發(fā)電的需求，
? 通過提高生產(chǎn)效率減少取水量和廢水的排放，
? 取消運輸原材料的需要。
陶氏化學公司廣泛的聚氨酯系統(tǒng)特許經(jīng)營升級關(guān)鍵聚氨酯組件，以生產(chǎn)剛性、半剛性和柔性泡沫，以及涂料、粘合劑、密封劑、彈性體和復合材料，應(yīng)用范圍從工業(yè)和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施解決方案，到消費者舒適的地板、家具、床上用品和鞋，汽車內(nèi)飾解決方案，節(jié)能隔熱材料。

Dow to build MDI distillation and prepolymers facility
Dow plans to build an integrated MDI distillation and prepolymers facility at its world-scale manufacturing site in Freeport, Texas. This investment supports increasing demand for downstream polyurethane systems products and advances Dow’s leading positions in attractive applications in construction, consumer, and industrial markets that are growing above GDP.
The new Freeport MDI facility will replace Dow’s current North America capacity in La Porte, Texas, and will also be capable of supplying an additional 30% of product to Dow’s customers. In coordination with the start-up of the new MDI facility, expected in 2023, Dow will shut down its polyurethane assets at the La Porte site.
“This MDI investment optimizes our existing asset infrastructure and enhances our global polyurethanes leadership position, further enabling us to support downstream systems customers’ growth,” said Jane Palmieri, president of Dow’s Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure operating segment. “The back integration at the Freeport site creates a cost competitive supply of key upstream polyurethane raw materials, ensures a reliable supply position to support our growth in downstream high-value polyurethane markets and delivers a more sustainable production process.”
The new facility in Freeport will reduce Dow’s carbon footprint and water usage by:
?eliminating the need for the generation of thermal power by utilizing existing thermal energy from the Freeport site,
?reducing water intake and wastewater discharge (through production efficiencies), and
?eliminating the need for transport of raw materials.
Dow’s extensive Polyurethane Systems franchise upgrades key polyurethane components in order to produce rigid, semi-rigid and flexible foams, and coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers and composites for applications that range from industrial and infrastructure solutions, to consumer comfort solutions in flooring, furniture, bedding and footwear, to automotive solutions for vehicle interior, and energy-efficient insulation materials.
