Borouge to Raise Production Capacity Beyond 6.6 Million Tonnes by 2028 View Main Message




Abu Dhabi, UAE | 28 April 2025
 -- Borouge Plc has announced a series of strategic expansion projects that will increase its annual polyolefin production capacity to over 6.6 million tonnes by 2028. The company has awarded two major contracts to support this growth, with the initiatives expected to contribute between $165 million and $200 million to annual EBITDA

Linde Engineering has been selected to provide Front-End Engineering Design services for the upgrade of Borouge’s second ethane cracker (EU2), which will add 230,000 tonnes per year and boost the unit’s capacity by 15%. This expansion is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2028, with ethane feedstock supplied by ADNOC Gas and ADNOC Refining

In parallel, Target Engineering Construction Company has secured an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to expand Borouge’s fourth and fifth polyethylene units (PE4 and PE5). These upgrades will increase the nameplate capacity of each unit from 540,000 to 700,000 tonnes per year, utilizing advanced Borstar Polyethylene technology. The expanded units are expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2027

These developments follow Borouge’s track record of rapid growth since 2001, having increased its production capacity tenfold to reach 5 million tonnes per year. The new expansions, together with the Borouge 4 mega project and the proposed combination with Borealis and the acquisition of Nova Chemicals, position Borouge to become one of the world’s leading polyolefin producers, with a combined capacity of 13.6 million tonnes across 62 plants globally.

Technologies identified and Mass Balance half-way developed View Main Message

Many technologies have been identified and added:

🔹Axen's aromatic complex
🔹Sinopc's DCC and DCC-Plus
🔹Linde's steam cracking
🔹Lummus / UOP's EBOne Ethylbenzene (to be confirmed)
🔹Lummus / UOP's "Classic" Styrene Monomer
🔹 LyondellBasell's Hostalen HDPE
🔹 Lummus' Novolen PP
🔹Axens' Hyvahl
🔹KBR's ROSE (to be confirmed)

Some assumptions haven been made based on technologies reported in 2009. .

There is a lack of reported information details about what happens between the ADUs and the two FCC plants, the technologies employed in the Lube plant (which also has at least one VDU) and the fuel blending plant making 7 million tonnes of the total 10.5 million tonnes of crude oil processing capacity .

The mass balance is also not matching as far as feedstock going into the FCCs is concerned. In case of the aromatics plant, this is a suite of many technologies, with reforming, alkylation, separation, etc but no details are available excepted it is known to be from Axens (formerly HRI).

There is double counting of polypropylene capacity with PP fed into a PP compounding plant (JPP's technology).

BASF Zhangiang Verbund Site Progress News

◾️ Zhanjiang, China | 6th Sep 2022 | BASF inaugurates the first plant of its new Zhanjiang Verbund site

BASF is inaugurating  the first plant of its Zhanjiang Verbund site today. It will supply an additional capacity of 60,000 metric tons of engineering plastics compounds per year in China, bringing BASF’s total capacity of engineering plastics in Asia Pacific to 420,000 metric tons from 2023. The new plant will enable BASF to meet the growing demand of its customers, particularly in the automotive and electronics industries.

◾️ Linde Press Releases, 8th Feb 2023, Linde Engineering Signed Agreement to Build a Synthesis Gas Plant for BASF in China

Linde Engineering will implement the newly awarded contract in a consortium together with its Chinese partner East China Engineering Science and Technology Co., Ltd (ECEC). The two companies have previously worked together in the design and construction of several Rectisol® Acid Gas Removal units in China. For the new BASF project Linde will be acting as consortium leader, including the provision of basic engineering and key equipment. ECEC will be responsible for the detailed design and the construction.

◾️The Paper | 4th Sep 2023 | BASF starts construction of syngas plant at its integrated Zhanjiang site, scheduled to start production in 2025

BASF China's official website reported on September 4 that the syngas unit at BASF's integrated base in Zhanjiang has broken ground. This world-class syngas unit will be fully integrated into the integrated base and is scheduled to be put into production in 2025.

◾️Global Times | Published: 19th Jan 2024 |New BASF plant inaugurated in S.China, ready to supply global market

◾️Zhanjiang Ecological Environment Bureau |19th Apr 2024 | Environmental impact assessment document of the first phase of the engineering plastics product optimization project

The first phase of the BASF (Guangdong) integrated project engineering plastics product optimization project is located in the first phase of the BASF (Guangdong) integrated project in the Donghai Island Petrochemical Industrial Park in Zhanjiang City. It is a technical transformation project, mainly to adjust the production plan of production lines 1, 2, and 4 in the engineering plastics workshop, increase the production capacity of red phosphorus masterbatch flame retardant products by 11,000 tons/year (8,000 tons/year in the near future, and 3,000 tons/year in the long term), and reduce the production capacity of general PA/PBT/PBAT products by 11,000 tons/year, and the total production capacity of 160,000 tons/year remains unchanged. The technical transformation does not involve the TPU workshop of the first phase of the project, only the product plan of the engineering plastics workshop is adjusted, and its production process has not changed. The types and total usage of the main raw and auxiliary materials remain unchanged, and there are no new water, gas, and heat nodes and wastewater and waste gas nodes. No technical transformation will be carried out on the auxiliary and public works of the existing approved projects.
