Olefins/polyolefins

Plastics are vital to everyday life, with polyethylene and polypropylene the most widely used plastics. Polyolefin production presents unique challenges, such as from polymer dust and the risk of polymerization within the equipment. You need a partner with proven experience and competence to help address these issues, and that is Atlas Copco Gas and Process.
