Over $1.2 Billion in New Chemical Project Activity Identified During July in North America
SUGAR LAND--August 8, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Project activity for the Chemical Processing Industry (CPI) began the second half of 2008 with good momentum in July with more than $1.2 billion in new project activity identified as part of Industrial Info's North American Project Database. The North American CPI has continued to perform strongly this year despite significant increases in operating costs related to transportation, energy and higher feedstock prices. Among the largest projects reported last month included plans by BASF SE's (OTC:BASFY) North American affiliate, BASF Corporation (Florham Park, New Jersey), for an estimated $50 million expansion of the Hannibal insecticides plant in Palmyra, Missouri. Koch Nitrogen Company (Wichita, Kansas) has begun structural erection for a nearly $60 million expansion of a urea unit located in its Enid, Oklahoma, plant.
