Adnoc Refining, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), on Wednesday announced it has reached full production of polymer-grade propylene from its newly commissioned Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) unit, located in the Ruwais integrated refining and petrochemical hub.
The PDH unit processes propane from two major sources, Adnoc Gas Processing and Ruwais Refinery West, to produce half a million tons per year of polymer-grade propylene. The standalone unit is part of the recently commissioned Carbon Black and Delayed Coker project.
Jasem Al Sayegh, Adnoc Refining CEO, said, “The PDH unit is a key element of Adnoc Refining’s expansion strategy to help create maximum value for Adnoc’s Downstream businesses. It also underlines our intent to continue to expand Ruwais to become the world’s largest integrated refining and petrochemical complex, operating to world-class standards.
