  9.000 Metric Tons/month.

  Application/Benefit :

  Benzene is the starting point for many derivatives required in the production of a wide range of goods used in everyday life. Benzene and ethylene are used to produce styrene, from which polystyrene is made. It is also used to produce cyclohexane, a precursor to caprolactam, which is used to produce nylon. Well known commodity chemicals like polystyrene and nylon are subsequently used to manufacture everyday items including paints, clothing, computer casings and packaging.
