The production in our chemical plant

– the chemical plant is the heart of our business

Circular production with bio based raw materials

In Sekab’s chemical plant, we produce bio acetaldehyde, bio ethyl acetate and bio acetic acid. We refine and convert bio ethanol into ethanol-based chemical products. We work in catalytic processes in which the ethanol raw materials react highly effectively, the largest by-product being ordinary water. Our factory is running 24 hours a day.

Advanced purification in a closed-loop system

Sekab has very advanced gas purification in its production lines. The outgoing process water is treated in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) water purification process which is highly efficient – after purification, the water has a status that is close to completely unaffected natural water.

In the chemical plant we produce Bio Acetaldehyde, Bio Ethyl acetate and Bio Acetic acid from ethanol raw materials. The ethanol is bio based and fossil-free.

Bio-based raw materials for the sake of the climate

In our chemical plant, we produce fossil-free products from bio-based raw materials in a process that is run on green bioenergy. This provides a product with very low emissions of climate impacting carbon dioxide with respect to the entire chain.

Sekab can also supply products manufactured from second-generation cellulosic ethanol as the raw material. In this way, we keep processes and products as climate neutral as is at all possible.

Ethanol as a raw material

The ethanol we use as a raw material for our chemicals is bio-based and produced from renewable sources such as corn or sugarcane. By using bio-based ethanol, we can produce fossil-free chemicals.
