Borouge has awarded four contracts for the proposed major expansion of its world scale petrochemical complex in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates.
 To be called Borouge 2, the multi-billion dollar project will see the company expand its production from its 2005 capacity of 600 knots to 2 million tonnes of enhanced Polyolefins per annum. The expansion will be located next to Borouge’s existing petrochemical complex in Ruwais and is expected to be completed in 2010.
Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for an Olefins Conversion Unit was awarded to ABB Lummus Global Inc. The work is expected to take about 32 weeks and will be executed by the ABB team in Houston. When completed, the conversion unit will be the world’s largest at 752 knots.
Fluor Mideast Ltd was awarded the contract to start the FEED for the Polyolefin units. Work is to be executed from Fluor’s offices in Haarlem, Holland and Greenville, US, and is expected to take approximately 40 weeks.
A mandate was awarded to MWH to carry out the study of Health, Safety and Environment Impact Assessments for the facilities and the lenders. The first phase is expected to be completed by September 2006.
Maersk Logistics was selected as Borouge’s supply chain study consultant to advice on the supply chain concept for Borouge 2 products.
Borouge is a partnership between the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Bore alis; and provides innovative plastic solutions throughout the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
