·第5個聚丙烯裝置在阿聯(lián)酋國營石化公司Borouge開始運作  

·這個聚丙烯裝置將把聚丙烯生產(chǎn)能力提高25%  

·Borouge正在為2024年前擴建項的啟動做準備 

據(jù)全球天然氣報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司(阿國油)和奧地利的北歐化工公司在阿聯(lián)酋的石油化工合資企業(yè)中啟動了一個新的聚丙烯生產(chǎn)裝置，該生產(chǎn)裝置將使聚烯烴的總聚合物產(chǎn)能提高11%，并將在2024年前啟動一項62億美元的擴建計劃。

Borouge在2月24日發(fā)布的一份聲明中表示，合資企業(yè)Borouge已經(jīng)開始運營其這個聚丙烯生產(chǎn)裝置，這將使該公司聚丙烯的年生產(chǎn)能力提高25%或48萬噸，達到224萬噸，其聚烯烴的總聚合物年產(chǎn)能將提高11%，達到500萬噸。 這個裝置在去年年底開始試運行。

Borouge首席執(zhí)行官Hazeem al-Suwaidi在聲明中表示：“我們的PP5裝置將使我們能夠滿足客戶對聚丙烯解決方案日益增長的需求，特別是我們在中東、亞太和非洲主要市場的包裝和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施領(lǐng)域。”

阿國油和由奧地利油氣集團持有75%股權(quán)的北歐化工今年開始在位于工業(yè)城市魯韋斯的Borouge石化廠擴建，以年產(chǎn)140萬噸聚乙烯。  

預(yù)計將在2025年投入運營的Borouge -4項目包括建設(shè)一個150萬噸乙烷裂解裝置和兩個聚乙烯廠。 兩家公司表示，這個項目將使該基地以640萬噸/年的產(chǎn)量成為世界上最大的單基地聚烯烴聯(lián)合體。

阿國油將為Borouge -4裝置提供原料。

ADNOC, Borealis boost polymer capacity at UAE petrochemical JV by 11%

·Fifth polypropylene unit starts operations at Borouge

·Unit to boost polypropylene production capacity by 25%

·Borouge gearing up for 2024 startup of expansion project

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. and Austria's Borealis have started up a new polypropylene unit that will boost total polymer capacity of polyolefins by 11% at their petrochemical joint venture in the UAE ahead of a 2024 launch of a $6.2 billion expansion. 

Joint venture Borouge has commenced operations at its fifth polypropylene unit that will boost the production capacity of the commodity by 25% or 480,000 mt to 2.24 million mt/year and its total polymer capacity of polyolefins by 11% to 5 million mt/year, Borouge said in a Feb. 24 statement. The commissioning of the unit started at the end of 2021.

"Our PP5 unit, will enable us to meet our customers' increasing demand for polypropylene solutions, especially in the packaging and infrastructure sectors across our key markets in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Africa," Borouge CEO Hazeem al-Suwaidi said in the statement.

ADNOC and Borealis, which is 75% owned by OMV, began this year construction of the expansion of the Borouge petrochemical plant in the industrial city of Ruwais to produce 1.4 million mt/year of polyethylene.

Expected to become operational in 2025, the Borouge 4 project includes construction of a 1.5 million mt ethane cracker and two polyethylene plants. It will make the site the world's largest single-site polyolefin complex at 6.4 million mt/year, the companies said.

ADNOC will supply feedstock for the Borouge 4 unit.
