The SASA PTA Project
The core of SASA's current strategy is the construction of a large PTA plant in Adana, Turkey. Awarded to Técnicas Reunidas in 2021, the plant aims for a capacity of 1.75 million tons annually. This project will enable SASA to produce PTA in-house, reducing reliance on imported raw materials and positioning the company as a major polyester exporter.
Benefits and Impact
The PTA plant is expected to bring multiple benefits, including cost savings from reduced imports, increased production capacity, job creation, energy independence through off-gas utilization, and a reduced environmental impact due to advanced technology.
Técnicas Reunidas' Role
Técnicas Reunidas, a leading engineering and construction firm, brings its expertise to the project. This collaboration marks the first step in SASA's broader petrochemical investment plan and enhances Técnicas Reunidas' standing in PTA plant design and construction.
Strategic Partnership
The partnership between SASA and Técnicas Reunidas represents a significant development in the Turkish polyester industry. The successful completion of the PTA plant will not only transform SASA's operations but also contribute to Turkey's economic growth and sustainability goals.
