The presumably largest nitrobenzene plant in the world will soon be commissioned for MEISSNER's customer Ningbo Wanhua in China.

Functional testing with water has already been successfully completed, and the start of production in the respective plant complex is expected to take place by the end of 2010.

This is also true for the Chinese enterprise Jilin Connell Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. A first nitrobenzene plant had been commissioned in March 2009 after less than two years of project execution, and in May 2010 the customer contracted with MEISSNER to supply a second nitrobenzene plant.

With its long tradition of participating in ACHEMA, MEISSNER at this important fair this year again presented its programme of services and activities to the valued customers from all over the world. As in the previous years, the MEISSNER subsidiary RHE Händel Engineering, specialized in the construction of resin plants, could be found at a neighbouring stand.

In October 2008, the extension of a plant for the production of Urea-Formaldehyde Precondensate (UFC) was successfully commissioned. The UFC plant is part of an integrated plant complex of Heliopolis Co. for Chemical Industries in Cairo, Egypt, for the production of Formaldehyde, Hexamethylenetetramine and Urea-Formaldehyde Precondensate.
