Manufacturing

The GRACE Davison FCC catalyst manufacturing facility in Worms, Germany is the largest in Europe and features state-of-the-art processing equipment and control systems. The original plant came on stream in 1982 and, to match market demand for the products, capacity was substantially increased in 1989 with the addition of a second FCC plant on the same site. In 1997 the site manufacturing capacity was further increased with the addition of new spray dryer and calciners, followed by modification and capacity increase for the production of intermediates in 1999. The latest addition took place in October 2003 when the new, upgrading, production plant for EnhanceR catalysts was commissioned.
