MAIRE has announces that Nextchem, through its subsidiary Conser has been awarded licensing, process design package, and technical services for a new plant to produce Trimellitic Anhydride (TMA) in China.

Nextchem will apply its proprietary TMA technology, part of NX CONSERTM C5+ portfolio, an advanced solution for continuous TMA production developed by CONSER. It is recognised for delivering high standards of safety and reliability, supported by the use of innovative construction materials, while also offering significant advantages in terms of power, steam, and water consumption.

TMA is a key intermediate for the production of high-performance and safe plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used in electrical, automotive, and medical applications. TMA also plays a strategic role in the manufacture of coating formulations and polyester resins.

The development of the project has been structured in two phases, allowing for a progressive implementation path aligned with the client’s overall strategy. The contract envisages the possibility of supplying the proprietary equipment at a later stage.

Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of Nextchem, commented: “This achievement reflects the growing market confidence in our innovative approach to combine adjacent technologies and advanced process integration, capable of delivering competitive advantages in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and product quality. This result reinforces our technological excellence and competitiveness in a strategic market such as China.”
