Borouge on Wednesday signed with Marie Tecnimont Group, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for its fifth polypropylene (PP5) plant in Ruwais, which will grow Borouge’s polypropylene capacity by 25% to 2.24 million tonnes per year (t/y) and unlock new opportunities to reinforce local industries.
With a nameplate capacity of 480,000 t/y, the new PP5 plant will be integrated with the existing Borouge 3 plant in Ruwais and will be expected to come on stream in Q3 2021.
Enabled by Borealis’ proprietary Borstar technology, Borouge’s PP5 plant will play an important role in helping Adnoc deliver against its downstream strategy, with the aim to significantly expand its refining and petrochemical operations – through the creation of the world’s largest integrated refining and petrochemicals complex in Ruwais – undertake highly targeted overseas investments to secure greater market access, and increase Adnoc’s, and its subsidiaries’, range and volume of high-value downstream products.
