Advantages of Sulzer equipment:

• Highly efficient polymerization process using Sulzer Mixing Reactors (SMR^TM) systems.
• Precise reaction temperature control thanks to the equipment geometry and inserts allowing an efficient energy dissipation.
• Perfect melt mixing thanks to the unique geometry of the reactors.
• Low maintenance costs due to installation of mainly static equipment.

Process and operational flexibility:

• Fast product transitions between different PLA grades due to short residence time.
• Operational flexibility to produce different PLA grades with different molecular weights.

Innovative plant design:

• Compact-sized plants.
• Straight-forward scalability from pilot plant tests to large plant sizes.
