Press-release: Tatarstan President Visits Facilities of PJSC «Nizhnekamskneftekhim»

 

On the 20th of August 2016 Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov visited Isoprene Monomer Plant and Oligomers facilities at PJSC «Nizhnekamskneftekhim». 

Isoprene monomer plant is implementing a set of measures to modernize the production of isobutylene as a part of PJSC «Nizhnekamskneftekhim» efficiency improvement program. Isobutylene is a primary raw material to produce isoprene. The industrial production of isoprene from isobutylene is more cost-effective compared to the production of isoprene from isopentane. 

At the Oligomers Plant Rustam Minnikhanov took part in the ceremonial startup of the modernized alpha-olefins production facilities. 

The decision to revamp the Linear Alpha-olefins production facilities (LAO) in accordance with alpha-Sablin technology was taken in 2012.  The reconstruction is aimed at developing new efficient production with high yield of light ends while minimizing raw-materials consumption – i.e. the consumption of ethylene - providing at the same time import substitution of С4 and С6 olefin fractions used as co-monomers in the polyethylene production. It should be mentioned that all that provides a higher processing level of hydrocarbons and helps to reduce the environmental footprint. 

The unit is equipped with state-of-the art control and emergency shut-down systems. During readiness inspections at all start-up phases the Licensor has confirmed that all the facilities comply with the requirements.
