WHY ARE CHEMICAL PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES ESSENTIAL FOR INDUSTRIES?
- Continuous operations and off gas recycling on MAN units toward the carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS)
- ECH‑EF green route for epichlorohydrin, lower energy and by‑products.
- PBS chain with biobased alternative from succinic acid.
- Innovative solutions for Epichlorohydrin and Propylene Oxide production from Hydrogen Peroxide at low environmental impact
Chemicals underpin everything from packaging, food and resins to tyres, adhesives, bioplastics and specialty solvents. With growing pressure on quality, efficiency and emissions, producers need proven process technologies and a licensor that can deliver.
Nextchem provides a complete portfolio for derivatives of C2, C3, C4, C5+ refinery cuts, including food additives, plasticizers, elastomers, solvents and biodegradable plastics—combining licensing, Process Design Packages (PDP), proprietary equipment (PEQ) and catalysts.
Industrial Applications
- Resins & plasticizers: Epichlorohydrin (ECH) for Epoxy Resins, Maleates, Trimellitic Anhydride (TMA), Trimellitates and Isophthalic Acid for PVC coatings and PET/alkyd/elettrodeposition resins.
- Solvents & intermediates: Maleic Anhydride (MAN), Maleate Esters, Special Anhydrides like Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride (THPA) and Hexahydrophthalic Anhydride (HHPA), Methyl Isobutyl Ketone/Carbinol (MIBK/MIBC), Ethanolamines (EAs), Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL), N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP), Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Propylene Oxide (PO) and Propylene Glycol (PG).
- Bioplastics & packaging: BDO (1,4-Butanediol) and DMS (Dimethyl Succinate), monomers for PBS/PBT/PBAT films/foams/textiles; biobased options from succinic acid.
- Food Additives: Malic and Fumaric Acid (MAL/FAC)
Nextchem Technologies for Chemicals
At Nextchem, we provide a range of chemical process technologies tailored to meet your plant’s specific needs based on capacity, feedstock, and sustainability goals.
Whether you're looking to revamp an existing unit, minimize emissions, or develop a new chemical project, we deliver proven, efficient solutions to support you at every stage of your journey.
Co-production of both monomers (BDO and DMS) needed for PBS manufacturing, starting from Maleic Anhydride or from bio-based alternatives like Succinic Acid.
Integrated solution for converting ethylene oxide into key intermediates like ethanolamines and glycol ethers.
Integrated solution for converting Propylene into key intermediates like Propylene oxide and Epicholorohydrin and for converting Acetone into MIBK and MIBC.
Advanced chemical platform for upgrading C₄ streams, as n-butane, into a wide range of value-added molecules, through Maleic Anhydride (MAN).
C5+ upgrading platform enabling conversion of Xylene and Pseudocumene (Trimethyl Benzene) to Isophthalic Acid, TMA(Trimellitic Anhydride), Plasticizers and Trimellitates as Phthalates alternatives.
Whether your goal is carbon neutrality, regulatory compliance or supply chain decarbonization, Nextchem provides:
- Technology licensing
- Process design packages (PDP)
- Proprietary equipment
- Digital solutions
- Post-PDP services
Do you provide licensing only or EPC as well?
We provide licensing, PDP, PEQ and can support basic engineering. EPC is delivered through Group capabilities depending on scope and geography.
Can existing assets be revamped?
Yes. We define revamping solutions to improve yield, purity and energy performance (e.g., off‑gas recycling on MAN, utilities optimization on elastomers).
Which documents are delivered with the PDP?
Process design basis, mass & energy balances, PFDs, key P&IDs, equipment datasheets, utilities and HSE guidelines, and catalyst/PEQ specs.
Which feedstocks do you support?
From light paraffins (C3/C4) to C5+ streams and biobased succinic acid for PBS; we validate specs during feasibility.
