SPOILER ALERT!
Borouge announces additionally tactical expansion of polyolefins operations beyond Borouge 2
09 Apr 2008 - Borouge introduced that it has actually started the feasibility study for Borouge 3: an additional development of its polyolefin procedures in Abu Dhabi to add around 2.5 million tonnes per year of capability by end of 2014. The proposed development would allow Borouge, a joint endeavor in between the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Borealis, to meet the expanding demands of particular polyethylene as well as polypropylene markets between East as well as Asia in pursuit of its approach to develop worth via technology.
The Borouge 3 research study will discover alternatives to take advantage of extra feedstock becoming available from planned upstream ADNOC expansions to broaden both Polyethylene as well as Polypropylene production capacities past the current Borouge 2 Job which is incomplete as well as on target for launch in 2010.
Included in the Borouge 3 advancement plan is a Low Density Polyethlene (LDPE) device to produce high efficiency product for wire & cord applications. Borouge co-owner Borealis is already the market leader in wire & cord applications and this further expansion would certainly reinforce its international market leadership. The usefulness research study will likewise discover methods to increase Borouge's competitive setting in Pipe, Automotive and also Advanced Packaging applications to offer customers with entirely brand-new item generations.
here proposed growth will certainly improve Borouge's total manufacturing ability to 4.5 million tonnes each year. It will be located along with the existing Borouge 1 and also Borouge 2 petrochemical complex at Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates.
Borouge's existing capacity is 600,000 tonnes of polyethylene per year, and the Borouge 2 growth job will certainly raise capacity to 2 million tonnes per year. Construction of Borouge 2 began in late 2007 and contains an ethane cracker of 1.5 million tonnes annually, olefins conversion unit of 752,000 tonnes annually (the globe's biggest), 2 Borstar? polypropylene plants with a mixed yearly capability of 800,000 tonnes, in addition to a brand-new Borstar Improved polyethylene plant with a yearly capability of 540,000 tonnes.
