The Irkutsk Polymer Plant in Ust-Kut, implemented as part of the INK project, has reached an important technological milestone. Ethane has been supplied to the plant, allowing the transition to the commissioning phase using its own hydrocarbon raw materials.
Key launch stages:
- Testing of technological units to obtain polymerization-grade ethylene
- Preparation for the launch of the gas-phase polymerization unit
- The first polyethylene granules were already obtained in December 2024 during commissioning; in the first half of 2025, the company expects to receive the first batch of ethylene and polyethylene
The project represents an important stage in the development of the region's petrochemical industry, ensuring the production of sought-after polymer materials.
The launch of the Irkutsk Polymer Plant demonstrates the successful implementation of a complex technological project. Unlike many similar enterprises, it uses a full cycle of raw material processing with an emphasis on the quality of the final product.
