WHEN JURGEN HAMBRECHT of BASF and Andrew N. Livens of Dow Chemical, the heads of the world's two largest chemical companies, meet to break ground for a new chemical plant, it can be read as a strong statement of confidence that the plant's technology will work. The two chairmen were on hand in Antwerp, Belgium, late last month to launch construction of a propylene oxide facility. A joint venture between Dow and BASF, it is one of two plants—Degussa is backing the other one—that may become the world's first to use hydrogen peroxide to make propylene oxide. This technology, called HPPO, is meant to free propylene oxide from the creation of coproducts or from heavy integration with chlor-alkali production. At first glance, this liberation might seem like an easy task. For years, the chemical industry has been able to directly oxidize ethylene into ethylene oxide. But propylene has a greater ...
