Jiatong Energy to Utilize INVISTA’s Latest P8 Technology for Its Dual PTA Lines
INVISTA Textiles (U.K.) Limited’s technology and licensing
business, INVISTA Performance Technologies (IPT), and
Jiangsu Jiatong Energy Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Tongkun
Group (Tongkun), have reached agreement to license
INVISTA’s latest P8 PTA technology for two PTA lines.
These two lines will be installed in Rudong, Nantong City,
Jiangsu province, China. Both lines deploy INVISTA’s
largest twin stream design respectively, utilizing INVISTA’s
latest P8++ PTA technology. Building on the demonstrated
performance of the P8 technology platform, the variable
cost, capital productivity and environmental performance is
expected to set new benchmarks within the industry.
Tongkun and INVISTA have been working together for 10
years in PTA. INVISTA’s first P7 and first P8 technology
platforms were successfully installed, commissioned, and
operated at another subsidiary (Jiaxing Petrochemical) of
Tongkun Group. Based on the successful co-operation on
these projects, Tongkun has again selected INVISTA’s
latest P8++ PTA technology for the Jiatong project.
Adam Sackett, IPT vice president PTA, commented, “We are
honoured that our industry-leading P8++ PTA technology
has been selected again by Tongkun Group. Our companies
have a long history of PTA innovation, and we look forward
to working together on this new chapter of technology and
cooperation between the two parties.”
A kick-off meeting was successfully concluded on August
15, 2020, by Jiatong, INVISTA and CTCI (the engineering
contractor). A project start-up date of Q4 2022 is targeted
for the first line.
INVISTA’s industry-leading PTA technology, including its
latest version of P8 technology, is available as a license
package from IPT. For more information, please visit the .
