Maleic anhydride production technology
Maleic anhydride is a highly reactive colourless solid
widely used in the petrochemical industries for
Unsaturated polyester resins (UPR),
Fibreglass enriched resins,
1,4 Butanediol or BDO,
Lubricating oil additives,
Artificial sweeteners, Flavour enhancements
MAN market is in continues expansion,
presenting solid and constant growth
over the last 30 years due to its inherent application
flexibility, supply constraints, exacerbated
by a number of plant outages,
and higher consumption as consumers rebuilt inventories.
Conser, with over 30 years of experience
in the Maleic Anhydride production,
is able to deliver an extremely efficient process design,
guaranteeing the highest standard of product quality,
while reducing the operating
and capital costs investment needed.

DETAILS
SIBUR has launched the construction of
a maleic anhydride (MAN) production facility
at SIBUR Tobolsk, Russia.
Maleic anhydride is used in
the construction, agriculture, automotive,
paint and varnish, furniture,
pharmaceutical and other industries.
It serves as feedstock for films, synthetic fibres,
pharmaceuticals, detergents, fuel components and oils.
Maleic anhydride improves the durability of end products,
enhances their waterproof properties,
resistance to temperature stress and mechanical impacts.
With a planned capacity is 45 ktpa, the facility
is scheduled to go online in 2021,
bringing new high-tech jobs to the market.
Maleic anhydride is currently not produced in Russia
and domestic demand is covered by imports.
Launching the high-margin Maleic anhydride
will enable SIBUR to monetise its own feedstock (butane),
improve the hydrocarbon processing rate in Russia,
fully substitute Meleic anhydride imports,
and start Maleic anhydride exports
to Western and Eastern Europe and Turkey.
In addition, a state-of-the-art Russian maleic anhydride
production facility will provide new development opportunities
for many domestic industries.
As part of the Tobolsk production site, the new facility
will enjoy ease of access to its infrastructure
and feedstock flows, gaining more competitive power.
SIBUR has engaged NIPIgaspererabotka,
a leading Russian centre for facility design, supply,
logistics and construction, to develop
the project engineering solutions.
Russian contractors, including those based
in the Tyumen Region,
will be selected for construction and installation.
MAN Project Manager
Vladimir Mishin
“We chose CONSER as the licensor for the project
thanks to its cutting-edge MAN production technology.
State-of-the-art technology and unique equipment
prevent negative impact on the environment.
The secured approval of the design documents
by the state expert review board
and the results of the public discussions
confirm that the project fully complies
with environmental laws and regulations.”
