After 18 months of construction, the new plant expansion for BASF's chelating agent Trilon M has now been brought on stream at the BASF site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, three months ahead of the scheduled date. Expansion of the Trilon M plant has created 18 new jobs in Ludwigshafen.
The plant now provides BASF with a global annual production capacity of 120,000 t for chelating agents, which the company says is its response to increasing global demand. The company said it expects double-digit percentage growth rates for environment-friendly chelating agents. Apart from Ludwigshafen, BASF also manufactures chelating agents in Lima, Ohio (U.S.) and Guaratinguetá, Brazil.
