    The formaldehyde plant was built in 1988 in modular parts that were shipped and reassembled on site. It has a production capacity of 75,000 tons per year and a minimum yield of 92%. In 2010, the local municipality decided to convert the land to a nature area, forcing the plant to close. However, the plant remains in good working condition due to investments in stainless steel equipment in 2007 that prevent corrosion and extend its lifetime. The modular design allows for easy disassembly, shipment, and reassembly of the plant components at a new location.

    The plant was built in 1988 to produce formaldehyde according to a Swedish design. It has a capacity of 75,000 tons per year and a minimum yield of 92%. However, it is being forced to close down due to a decision to convert the area to nature preservation.

    The plant is designed to produce formaldehyde, with a total capacity of 75,000 tons per year and a minimum yield of 92% formaldehyde.

    The plant has undergone investments and renewals over time, including completely renewing its reactor and vaporizer with new stainless steel equipment in 2007, as well as migrating to a new DCS system.

    Modular building
    The plant is built out of stand alone modules which makes disconnecting
    and rebuilding of the plant easy. After splitting the plant up into its’
    modules, the current location by the water makes the logistics of moving
    the plant fast and easy.
    For the building of the plant, stainless steel is used, which ensures a life-
    time protection against corrosion.
