HDPE Production and Processing Plant
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Plant consists of three productions:
POLYETHYLENE PRODUCTION
Polyethylene production is a UnipolTM PE Technology-based Gas-Phase Ethylene (Co)Polymerization Process using catalysts.
The product mix includes the following PE grades:
- high density polyethylene;
- bimodal high density polyethylene;
- medium density polyethylene;
- linear low density polyethylene;
- metallocene linear low density polyethylene.
The resin produced is used for downstream processing by extrusion methods of blow molding, rotomolding and injection molding; production of film materials, pressure pipes for gas and water supply applications.
PLASTIC PRODUCTION
Uses HDPE and PE100 as a feedstock. Produces PE pipes and fittings for gas and water supply applications.
The PE pipes are produced by extrusion with the fittings requiring injection and press molding, winding and welding.
Polyethylene pipes are widely used in gas and water applications, sewage systems, and process pipelines. The production of PE pipes and fittings is one of the top three in Russia.
COMONOMER PRODUCTION
Uses ethylene as a feedstock. The final product is butene-1 resultant from ethylene dimerization. Butene-1 is used as a modifying comonomer for the production of high density, medium density, and linear low density PE grades.
