DETAILS
Irkutsk Polymer Plant LLC has selected
Univation Technologies’ UNIPOL™ PE Technology
for a 650 kTA polyethylene plant
to be located in Ust-Kut, Irkutsk region,
in the Russian Federation.
Additionally, Irkutsk Polymer Plant elected to utilize
Univation’s advanced resin product technology, including
PRODIGY™ Bimodal HDPE Technology
with production capability for bimodal applications such as
* ISO certified PE100 pipe,
* high-performance bimodal films and
* light-weighted bimodal blow molding bottles
for Household, Industrial & Chemical (HIC) applications.
PRODIGY™ Bimodal HDPE Catalysts
PRODIGY™ Bimodal Catalysts are uniquely engineered, multi-component catalysts
that represent our most advanced PE catalyst technology.
These catalysts enable production of bimodal HDPE in a single UNIPOL™ PE Reactor,
while other technologies require multiple reactors. Low-sag PE100 pipe, high ESCR blow molding
and gel-free, high-molecular-weight HDPE films are now fully accessible
from a single UNIPOL™ PE Reactor.
Irkutsk Polymer Plant also selected
Univation’s ACCLAIM™ Unimodal HDPE Technology
with capability to produce advanced unimodal products
including
* durable unimodal HDPE PE80 pipe,
* high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR)
large part blow molded (LPBM) drums and
* heavy-duty HDPE film liners.
Irkutsk Polymer Plant is also accessing
Univation’s advanced process control system,
which provides state-of-the-art process control and
economic optimization capability
for the UNIPOL™ PE Process.
To enhance the training of its operations staff,
Irkutsk Polymer Plant will utilize
UNIPOL™ PE Virtual Process Software (UVPS)
which is Univation’s latest platform
for virtual plant simulation training
for the UNIPOL™ PE Process.
***********************************************
Mr. Egor Fomin,
director of Irkutsk Polymer Plant
“Providing significant, high-quality PE resins to supply
both Russian and export markets needs was
an important objective for the Irkutsk Polymer Plant,
and this new UNIPOL™ PE Plant creates
the world-scale capacity required to achieve that goal.”
“Project teams from both Irkutsk Polymer Plant
and Univation Technologies have already formed
productive, collaborative relationships,
and we are pleased with the close support Univation
had provided for this project as we move into
design and construction phases, and
as we look ahead to a successful plant start-up.”
*************************************************
Dr. Steven Stanley,
president of Univation Technologies
“We are excited about
this new world-scale UNIPOL™ PE Plant
now underway by Irkutsk Polymer Plant
and very pleased Univation was selected
as their PE licensor for this important project,”
“This plant will provide Irkutsk Polymer Plant
with the proven technology
to deliver high performance products, consistent quality
and maximum single-line capacity
to produce both HDPE and LLDPE resins
critical to meet Russian domestic needs and,
importantly, demand growth in key export regions.”
