Dow: Licence for Union Carbide process to Sinopec

PLASTEUROPE.COM, AUGUST 3, 2006

Bhopal.net comment: Dow no longer bothers to hide the dirty secret that METEOR is a Union Carbide technology. Lying about this very point cost Dow a lucrative contract with the Indian Oil Corporation after ICJB members alerted the Indian government. Union Carbide is a criminal corporation in India, a fugitive from justice, refusing since 1992 to attend a Bhopal court where it is charged with criminal homicide.

Dow Technology Licensing (Midland, Michigan / USA; www.dow.com) has licensed the Union Carbide "Meteor" LEC technology to Chinese state-owned petrochemical group Sinopec ( www.sinopec.com) for use in plants being built by Sinopec´s Tianjin branch and its subsidiary Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company. Tianjin plans a plant for 420,000 t/y of MEG and 40,000 t/y of pure EO as part of a 1m t/y ethylene cracker complex in the Bohai Gulf. The Zhenhai facility will produce 650,000 t/y of MEG and 100,000 t/y of pure EO at Ningbo.
