Following the capacity increase of its syngas production facility in Bay City, Texas, USA, the chemical company Oxea is in the last stages of completion of a feasibility study of additional downstream plant expansion projects.

The project is examining various scenarios to boost the plant's capacities, as well as the further optimization of Oxea's product portfolio at the site.

The study is scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter 2012.

Oxea's Bay City plant is a large world-scale facility for oxo chemicals such as oxo-alcohols, carboxylic acids and acetate esters.
