AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim of the “Polimery Police” project includes, primarily:

• establishing a base for the future development of the Capital Group, i.e. Grupa Azoty S.A.;
• establishing a new market segment in Grupa Azoty S.A., with economic cycles other than those existing today;
• synergy with the remaining plants of the Capital Group;
• growth and diversification of revenues of the entire Capital Group;
• efficient use of valuable by-products in the units of Grupa Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne “Police” S.A. and the resulting positive, integrated ecological effect;
• extension of the value chain and further development of Polish chemical industry.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
 

The investment project referred to as the "Polimery Police" project covers:

• Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) Unit;
• Polypropylene (PP) Production Unit;
• Polypropylene (PP) Logistics Infrastructure;
• Handling and Storage Terminal (gas terminal) and
• Auxiliary Systems.

The PDH Unit is used for catalytic propane dehydrogenation process, as part of which propylene is to be produced with nominal capacity at a level of 400 thousand tons/8000 h.

The PP Unit will produce nominally 400 thousand tons/8000 h of polypropylene in total, in three types: homopolymers, impact copolymers and random copolymers. The plant producing different types of polypropylene will operate based on the following raw materials: propylene delivered from the PDH Unit and ethylene delivered from the Handling and Storage Terminal.

PP Logistics Infrastructure is the polypropylene storage, logistics and shipment area.

The Handling and Storage Terminal functions as a facility used for propane and ethylene storage and unloading from sea vessels and delivery of the said raw materials to the PDH Unit and PP Unit.

The Auxiliary Systems within the project include utilities systems, auxiliary systems and system of inter-facility connections. The above-mentioned systems are intended for protection of the necessary utilities required for operation of the PDH Unit, PP Unit and PP Logistics Infrastructure.
