CEPSA STARTS UP METAXYLENE AT SAN ROQUE

Cepsa’s Gibraltar San Roque refinery has started up its new Sorbex-2 metaxylene plant, one of the latest industrial advances made in this production process.
The new unit started up production after an investment of around €70 million and thanks to the work of a team from the Construction, Engineering and Operations departments, which assured it was started up on time.
Sorbex-2 will have a production capacity of 150 tons a day of high quality metaxylene, which is used as the raw material to make polymers and plastics. The new unit will work in tandem with the Sorbex-1 unit, which started production in 2008 and produces 210 tons a day. Part of the load of xylene needed for the process will come from Cepsa’s La Rábida Refinery in Huelva.
