AKRON, OH – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. completed the de-bottlenecking of its world-scale Ultra High Purity Dicyclopentadiene (UHP-DCPD) Recovery Unit at its chemical plant in Beaumont, Texas.
The DCPD concentration unit was constructed in late 2016 to purify DCPD up to the 99+ percent purity levels. The Goodyear-Beaumont facility has been refining crude C5s into high-purity isoprene monomer, Piperylenes and DCPD since the 1970s.
