Borouge pioneers in using large diameter pipelines

Borouge broke new ground in the infrastructure markets of the Middle East by setting a trend in the use of increasingly larger diameter polyolefins (PO) pipes for industrial projects. The excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) pipes make them ideal for a wide range of applications including cooling water transportation, sea water intakes and outfalls and effluent disposal. Two years ago, a major breakthrough was achieved when Borouge decided to install a total of 25km of 1600 mm diameter PE100 pipes at its new expanded plant in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. Many other large diameter PE pipe projects have followed for both utility and industrial applications, which ultimately led to even larger diameter extruders being installed in the region. This means a rapid increase in demand for PE, which will be met by the recent capacity expansion at Borouge''s plant in Abu Dhabi. The company has tripled the production capacity of its plant to 2 million tonnes of PO per year and is currently expanding its manufacturing capacity to 4.5 million tonnes per year by the end of 2013, creating the world largest integrated polyolefins plant.
