Elevance Completes One Million Pound Production Run
We announced yesterday the completion of a one million-pound production run of specialty chemicals made from renewable feedstocks. We have provided this production run as a response to the requests we are receiving from customers for larger volumes of the novel renewable products we will be making at the world-scale biorefinery we are building with Wilmar International in Surabaya, Indonesia.
The specialty chemicals produced by this run include alpha olefins and novel esters that will be used by our customers in applications such as surfactants for detergents and cleaners, personal care products, lubricants and additives for lubricants and fuels.
Elevance Participates in Lux Executive Summit and AOCS National Spring Meeting
Elevance participated in several industry conferences over the past two weeks where interest in the company’s novel products and JV with Wilmar was high.
Company representatives attended the Lux Executive Summit in Boston and the 9th Annual World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology & Bioprocessing in Toronto.
In addition, Andy Shafer, Elevance EVP of Sales & Market Development, presented at the AOCS National Spring Meeting “Hot Topics” session on May 3, and at the ICIS 1st World Surfactants conference on May 13.
“The availability of our renewable olefins and novel, difunctional esters was a key topic of conversation at all of the conferences in both the presentations and in one-on-one meetings with customers,” Shafer said.
