Borouge创新的领先提供者北方(Borealis)的价值在中东,非洲,亚太地区和欧洲创造了塑料解决方案,今天庆祝了Borouge生产的第五年。在迪拜在ArabPlast 2007举行的新闻发布会上,两家公司强调了Borouge迄今为止的杰出成功,并概述了未来五年及以后的愿景。
Chief Executive Officer of the Borouge Production Company, Harri Bucht said that the five year production milestone at Borouge's plant in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary success for a facility conceived so recently, and represents a major achievement for the polyolefins industry in the Middle East as a whole.
A total of around 2.3 million tonnes of polyethylene have been produced by Borouge, providing innovative solutions for customers in the infrastructure, automotive and advanced packaging sectors. To date, enough polyethylene for pipe applications has been made at Ruwais to stretch a typical 110 millimetre diameter water pipe six times round the world.
The Ruwais complex was the first bimodal polyethylene unit in the Middle East, beginning production December 2001 and exceeding design capacity within five months. ISO 9001 certification was achieved after just nine months and since then, Borouge has become a benchmark for operational excellence in the region. It has been at the forefront of adopting best practice in health, safety and environment, achieving ISO 14001 certification in December 2006.
The company also discussed 'Borouge 2', the multi-billion dollar expansion of its production facilities which will come on stream in 2010 and which commenced last month with the signing of an agreement with Linde Engineering to build a new ethylene cracker. This world-scale project will triple existing production capacity to two million tonnes per annum, including, for the first time, polypropylene. This increased output will open new markets for Borouge and is expected to make a strong contribution to the growth of downstream industries in Abu Dhabi and the wider region.
Borouge营销公司首席执行官Harald Hammer评论说:“五年的生产是Borouge的一项重大成就。它强调了自从我们最近成立以来已经取得的非凡进步。对我们的客户有所作为,并更好地服务于中东和亚太地区的不断发展的市场。”
