Celanese Secures Additional CO Supply at Nanjing Complex

Nanjing/PR China, Dallas/USA – Celanese has entered into a long-term supply agreement with Wison to secure availability of carbon monoxide (CO), a critical raw material, to support future expansion at its Nanjing, integrated chemical complex. Wison is the current CO supplier for the Celanese acetic acid facility at the Nanjing complex. The acetic acid facility began operation in mid-2007 and has a capacity of 600,000 tons, which can be expanded to 1.2 million tons with relatively minor capital investment.
