•Millions of pounds per year of ethylene glycol byproduct and on-purpose~TEG 

capacity. Higher glycol capacities are very flexible. BASF came on stream with its 

byproduct recovery unit in January 1987. Celanese and American Hoechst merged 

to form a new unit of Hoechst AG in February 1987. Dow closed its Freeport, Tex., 

EG/EO unit in January 1985, but maintains on-purpose TEG capacity there. The 

Sterling Group has signed a letter cf intent to acquire the*EG/EO business of ICI 

Americas. Olin Chemical has a small amount of captive TEG production at Brandenburg, Ky. PD Glycol is a 50-50 joint venture between PPG and DuPont, but the Sterling 

Group has signed a letter of intent to acquire the PPG half. Union Carbide mothballed 

its Ponce, P.R., glycols facility in February 1985. Dixie Chemical, Bayport, Tex.; 

Chemical Exchange Industries, Houston, Tex.; and KMCO, Crosby, Tex.; all can 

obtain TEG though distillation of mixed glycols and spent solvents. Profile last
