Samsung Total will use the MPC tool to optimize production on its A-Train polypropylene line at the company’s Daesan, Korea facility. The A-Train is a 150 KMT line based upon Mitsui’s Hypol I process technology.
The polymer software was selected to increase production, enhance product consistency and reduce raw materials consumption.
In less than nine months, Samsung Total says it has realized a payback on its investment, and will now deploy the software on its B-Train polypropylene line.
Pavilion’s polymer control solution has helped Samsung Total bring more, high-quality polypropylene to a booming Asian market quickly, said Graeme Burnett, executive vice president, Samsung Total. This is critical, as it moves us closer to attaining our corporate goal of increasing our market share in Asia and the Middle East by 20% by 2010.
