A naphtha cracker, the largest in Brazil, forms the heart of the industrial complex in Camaçari, Bahia State, north-eastern Brazil. It supplies feedstocks and utilities to Braskem’s downstream polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride plants as well as to other large international companies on the same industrial complex.
Continuous improvement: A strong culture of continuous improvement exists at Braskem. To compete in the international market with its products and to set an example for the region, the company strives to operate its plants, including the naphtha cracker, very cost-effectively and efficiently.
