Oxo Alcohol Projects
Davy Process Technology Limited has achieved a world leading position in low pressure hydroformylation technology in collaboration with The Dow Chemical Company. The LP OxoSM Process is extensively used to produce normal and iso-butyraldehydes from propylene for subsequent conversion to the work-horse plasticizer alcohol, 2-ethylhexanol, or to butanols for solvent uses. This technology now accounts for the majority of the world's butyraldehyde production. Dow operates four LP Oxo plants and licences have been granted for more than 20 plants.
