BMS planning new world-scale TDI plant in Germany

Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) plans to invest EUR 150 million in a new production plant for TDI at Chempark Dormagen, Germany.

The new plant will have a capacity of 300 kt/y and will replace the existing plants in Dormagen and Brunsbüttel, Germany.

Dormagen will then be the sole BMS site in Europe for the production of TDI. The world-scale plant will be built on the site of the coal-fired power plant, which will be torn down. The new TDI production plant is scheduled to go on stream in 2014.

TDI has been produced in Dormagen since 1964. The new plant will use the innovative gas phase phosgenation process that has proved itself over the last six years in a Dormagen pilot plant. A large-scale plant based on this process, currently under construction in Caojing, near Shanghai, China, is scheduled to go on stream in mid-2011.

Plans also call for the production of raw materials for polyurethane rigid foams to be expanded in Brunsbüttel.
