    BELGIUM-BASED chemicals firm Solvay on Friday opened its S$50 million specialty surfactants plant in Singapore, its largest in Asia.

    It also announced completion of the expansion of an oil and gas lab at its research and innovation centre here, banking on optimism that upstream oil exploration activity in Asia will continue apace given the drive towards energy self-sufficiency in many countries.
