Borouge celebrates five years
of production in the UAE
Borouge and Borealis, providers of plastics
solutions in the Middle East, Africa, Asia-
Pacific and Europe, have celebrated
Borouge’s 5th year of production at its plant
in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.
A total of around 2.3 million tonnes of
polyethylene (PE) has already been
produced by Borouge. To date, enough
PE for pipe applications has been made at
Ruwais to stretch a typical 110mm diameter
water pipe six times round the world.
The Ruwais complex was the first bimodal
PE unit in the Middle East, beginning
production in December 2001 and
exceeding design capacity within five
months.
‘Borouge 2’, the multi-billion dollar
expansion of its production facilities will
be operable by 2010. This completion took
a step closer with the recent signing of
an agreement with Linde Engineering to
build a new ethylene cracker. This world-
scale project will triple existing production
capacity to two million tonnes per annum,
including, for the first time, polypropylene.
This increased output will open new
markets for Borouge. It is expected to
make a strong contribution to the growth
of downstream industries in Abu Dhabi and
the wider region.
Mr Harald Hammer, chief executive officer of
the Borouge Marketing Company commented:
“Five years of production is a major
achievement. Our next phase will ensure we
continue to better serve our growing Middle
East and Asia Pacific markets.”
