Despite Outdated Acetylene Route Asia-Pacific Remains VCM Production Leader According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd.

01 Jul 2011 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Acetylene route for vinyl chloride production is still used in a number of developing countries, many of them being from the Asia-Pacific region. This manufacture technology has been largely proved to be highly polluting and energy consuming. However some countries like China, for example, own large coal fields of low cost, which is advantageous and more profitable in comparison with crude oil VCM production. If the price of oil skyrockets China will definitely go on building more acetylene based VCM plants.

According to the professional forecasts the global VCM production will expand by 2,5-2,8% annually. Asia-Pacific remains the largest production base taking up almost half of the world production volume – notwithstanding the outdated technologies used for VCM production.
