One of McChem Inc’s major businesses has always been production of phthalic anhydride from naphthalene. Phthalic anhydride production is integrated as part of a large chemical plant, in which naphthalene is produced and in which phthalic anhydride is immediately used downstream.
The plant is designed to produce 100,000 metric tons/year of phthalic anhydride from naphthalene, but operates at 80,000 metric tons/year [8000 hour per year operation].
