Bavarian chemical triangle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian Chemical Triangle (also known as the Southeast Bavarian Chemical Triangle ) is a region in southeast Bavaria in which a relatively large number of companies in the chemical industry are located. This includes significant parts of the Altötting district , part of the Mühldorf district and the northern part of the Traunstein district . The places Simbach am Inn , Ampfing and Traunreut serve as imaginary borders . The most important industrial locations are Burghausen , Trostberg , Waldkraiburg and Burgkirchen .

Framework conditions in the region

The Bavarian Chemical Triangle and its catchment area for electricity generation with hydropower .

A branch from the Transalpine Oil Pipeline is crucial for supplying the region with crude oil . A number of run- of -river power stations along the Inn and on the Alz Canal generate the electricity required. However, all railway lines in the region are only single-track and not electrified. The A 94 motorway connects the region with Munich ; in the direction of Passau it is only completed in individual sections.

Infrastructure

In addition to road and rail, the pipeline is an important factor in supplying companies . In the petrochemical industry in particular, such large quantities of liquids and gases are converted that only transport via pipeline is economical. The supply of crude oil from Mediterranean ports in Italy was managed with the Central European Line (CEL) until 1996 , while the Transalpine Oil Pipeline (TAL) is still in operation today. These two pipelines also go to the Ingolstadt area , where the second large petrochemical center in Bavaria is located. The Münchsmünster – Gendorf ethylene pipeline also leads there . In 2012 this pipeline was extended to Ludwigshafen am Rhein ( BASF ) as part of the Ethylen-Pipeline Süd project .
