- The project includes engineering, equipment supply, and supervision.
Project Overview
Uhde Inventa-Fischer has secured a contract from Grupa Azoty to construct a polyamide 6 plant in Tarnow, Poland. The plant will have a total capacity of 80,000 metric tons per year, focusing on film applications and engineering plastics.
Technological Highlights
The plant will utilize Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s two-stage polyamide 6 process. A key feature is the Overproportional Refeeding Process (OPRP®), which allows caprolactam extract from all production lines to be fed back to a single line and polymerized into high-quality polyamide 6. This process is both cost-effective and feedstock-saving.
Integration and Infrastructure
The design of the plant enables integration into the existing industrial complex, leveraging existing infrastructure and allowing direct supply of caprolactam feedstock produced at Grupa Azoty’s facility.
Scope of Supply
Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s responsibilities include providing the know-how license, basic engineering, supply of all necessary equipment, and supervision of construction and commissioning activities.
