- Repsol built its first propylene oxide and styrene monomer (PO/SM) plant in Puertollano, Spain, in the early 70s. It was the first PO/SM plant in the world. In 2000, Repsol built a new PO/SM plant in Tarragona, which doubled the size of the initial installation.
Repsol’s capacity for innovation is based on the knowledge and experience developed at the Repsol Technology Lab, one of the largest in Europe, and on the continuous improvement and technological innovation in Repsol’s own industrial complexes. All this knowledge has made this process an international benchmark.
