Project Details
The project, with a budget of around USD 1.8bn, will feature a propylene dehydrogenation plant and a polypropylene production plant with an annual capacity of up to 437 thousand tonnes. The complex also includes a gas terminal with handling and storage infrastructure and various auxiliary systems.
Pre-Marketing and Testing
A pre-marketing project was launched on the Polypropylene Logistics Platform, with initial polypropylene deliveries helping to evaluate training results and accelerate the operational phase. All acceptance procedures for construction and installation work were completed by the end of January 2023.
