- The plant has a design capacity of 80,000 tons of crude acrylic acid per year.
- Butyl acrylate production will also be 80,000 tons per year, replacing imports.
- The project created approximately 340 new jobs.
- Advanced technologies ensure the facility is environmentally friendly.
Inauguration Ceremony
An inauguration ceremony marked the start of commercial operations at an acrylic acid and butyl acrylate production plant in Salavat, Republic of Bashkortostan. The event was attended by key figures including Valery Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Rustem Mardanov, Prime Minister of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Production Capacity
The plant has a design capacity of 80,000 tons of crude acrylic acid per year, making it the largest facility of its kind in Russia. The crude acrylic acid will be converted into glacial acrylic acid, paving the way for the production of superabsorbents in Russia. Additionally, the plant will produce 80,000 tons of butyl acrylate annually, fully substituting imports and meeting domestic demand.
Applications
Acrylic acid and butyl acrylate are essential in manufacturing various household chemicals, including varnishes, paints, laundry detergents, and medical products.
Environmental Considerations
The facility employs cutting-edge technologies for the collection, purification, and thermal treatment of industrial wastewater and heavy residues, ensuring no harmful emissions enter the atmosphere.
Job Creation
The project has generated approximately 340 new jobs, contributing to the local economy.
