SIBUR Holding PJSC Selected Lyondellbasell Technology For Its Amur Gas Chemical Complex In Far East Russia
LyondellBasell, the world’s leading licensor of polyolefin technologies, today announced that the Amur Gas Chemical Complex project, being implemented by SIBUR Holding PJSC, the largest integrated petrochemicals company in Russia, has selected LyondellBasell’s Spheripol technology for a new facility.
The process technology will be used for a 400 KTA polypropylene unit to be built in Svobodny, Amur region, Russia.
“We are honored that SIBUR has again opted to utilize the Spheripol technology for its Amur GCC project in the Russian Far East,” said Jim Seward, senior vice president of research and development, technology and sustainability at LyondellBasell. Seward added: “The process robustness and CAPEX effectiveness of the Spheripol process allows SIBUR to create benchmark polymers on a sustainable basis.”
