The INEOS Joliet facility was originally constructed by Amoco starting in 1957.  It currently manufactures three separate chemical intermediate product lines which share an integrated utility and wastewater treatment units with a capacity equal to a city of 200,000 people.  At our ~775 acre site in Channahon, Illinois (about 40 miles southwest of Chicago) we produce three products - Purified Isophthalic Acid (PIA), Trimellitic Anhydride (TMA) and Maleic Anhydride (MAN). Several of the technologies used on site were originally developed by Amoco at the site.  This is especially true for TMA that was first commercialized at the Joliet site and is still the only TMA production site in North America.
