Borouge’s PP5 plant will play an important role in helping ADNOC deliver against its downstream strategy
Borouge has recently signed, with Italy’s Maire Tecnimont Group, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for its fifth polypropylene (PP5) plant in Ruwais, expected to grow Borouge’s polypropylene capacity by 25% to 2.24 million tonnes per year (t/y).
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.
Building the PP5 plant in Ruwais significantly contributes to achieving Borouge’s ambition of growing the polymers production capacity by 11% to reach 5 million tonnes per year which is effectively linked to the growth ambitions of both ADNOC and Borealis to grow polymers production capacity.
The PP5 plant will become the tenth Borstar® plant in Ruwais that contributes to ensuring global supply of creative polypropylene products based on the partnership between ADNOC and Borealis. The Ruwais-based plant will help Borouge expand its product portfolio and deliver leading solutions to its customers across the globe, especially in the packaging industry.
