"As CEO, he has initiated forward-looking strategic projects at Oxea, including the construction of the
Propanol II plant in Bay City, Texas, our largest investment project to date.
Phenyl
propanol, though naturally identical in the Conoarom B aromatic, can be found naturally in strawberries, styrax benzoin resin (Deutsch: Benzoetinktur), tea, peru balsam, cassia leaf oil, cinnamon oil and other sources.
Oxea has started up its new 100,000 mt per annum world-scale production unit
Propanol 2 at its Bay City, TX site.
The firm, a spin-out from Queen's University Belfast, will test manufacture Epoxy
Propanol (EP).
Oman Oil Company (OOC) owned Oxea, a global manufacturer of oxo intermediates and oxo derivatives, will build a major
propanol unit adjoining its existing complex in Texas, US, said a report.
In the present study, crude powders and five extracts (acetone, ethanol, methanol,
propanol, and distilled water) of B.
The plant parts used were dried and broken into small pieces under sterile conditions, and 20 g of each plant was extracted with 150 mL of ethanol, methanol, etyl aceetate,
propanol extracts (Merck, Darmstadt) for 24 h by Soxhlet appartaus.
This could reflect the fact that the n-propanol cannot be readily absorbed by the benzene-swollen kerogen matrix, until the chemical potential of the
propanol exceeds a critical value.
They also showed that this approach works with commercial yeast strains and other types of alcohols, including
propanol and butanol, which are even more toxic to yeast.
