High pressure pumps and compressors for producing chlor alkalis
PTA – Purified Terephthalic Acid
Used principally as a precursor to manufacture polyester, used to make clothing and plastic bottles. The catalytic liquid phase oxidation of paraxylene in acetic acid, in the presence of air is how PTA is produced in a modern plant.
