KTS, Chemtex, and Polymetrix: Innovation in Polyester Technology
SFX (Sanfame Group Co., Ltd.) has successfully commissioned its latest PET complex. The site now operates two of the world’s leading single-stream continuous polymerisation plants, designed by Chemtex using KTS (Koch Technology Solutions) know-how. Each plant produces 2,000 tons per day of PET packaging-grade resin pellets, following solid-state polymerisation with Polymetrix technology.
This milestone builds on 14 previous projects in which SFX partnered with KTS, Chemtex, and Polymetrix to deliver PET resin to the global market—achieving low energy consumption, excellent capital productivity, and high value for its customers.
Mr. Bian, CEO of SFX, stated:“This collaboration with our partners has enabled us to build world-scale facilities and produce high-quality PET. It marks an important step in our journey to grow and strengthen our business.”
John Baker, Polyester Business Leader at KTS, commented:“KTS has spent over 50 years developing this technology, and this project represents the next evolution in plant scale and operational efficiency.”
Sean Ma, CEO of Chemtex, said:“This project showcases Chemtex’s proven capability in engineering and commissioning support, delivering an unparalleled solution in the industry.”
