Abu Dhabi’s Borouge is ramping up production at its third petrochemicals plant at Ruwais. Borouge-3 will, when fully operational, deliver up to 1.08mn tons/year of linear low-density/high-density polyethylene (LLDPE/HDPE), 960,000 t/y of polypropylene (PP) and 350,000 t/y of low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
This will raise Borouge’s polyolefins production capacity to 4.33mn t/y from 1.94mn t/y at Ruwais, where units of state firm ADNOC also operate refineries and gas processing plants.
