Meanwhile in other news, India’s Nayara Energy will utilise W. R. Grace & Co’s Unipol PP process technology for its facility located at the Vadinar Refinery in Gujarat.

The new, world-scale capacity PP facility will utilise 450 KTA of propylene feedstock. Nayara Energy intends to produce phthalate-free homopolymer products for the Indian market using the PP process and catalysts technology.

Grace says its all gas-phase Unipol PP technology provides the broadest range of PP homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact copolymers in the industry. It adds, “This process technology, without any moving parts inside of the reactor and requiring less equipment than any alternative, is a reliable, safe, and stable operation that leads to lower capital, operating, and maintenance costs.”

Sergey Denisov, Nayara Energy’s Chief Development Officer said, “Investing in the Unipol PP process technology gives us the ability to make a broad range of phthalate-free products for our customers. As the demand for these advanced PP products increases in the region, Nayara Energy wants to ensure that it is using the most up-to-date, reliable, and cost-effective technology to meet our customer’s needs.”
