SUGAR LAND--June 25, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The rising costs of crude oil and natural gas continue to make it difficult for the Chemical Processing Industry to predict future supplies and market demand. Capital and maintenance projects that are planned to begin construction in July 2008 and beyond total more than $17.3 billion. Nearly a third of these projects are planned by just 10 companies. The current top 10 CPI spenders include CF Industries (NYSE:CF), ADA-ES Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADES), Air Products and Chemicals Incorporated (NYSE:APD), Terra Industries Incorporated (NYSE:TRA), Dow Chemical Company (NYSE:DOW) and the Westlake Group (NYSE:WLK).
