UAE’s Borouge awards EPC contract for its 4th petrochem complex in Ruwais
9 December 2021
ADNOC and Borealis AG recently announced a strategic partnership, confirming a $6.2 billion investment for the development of Borouge 4. Borouge’s commitment to unlocking opportunities in polyolefin production, enabling industrial growth, and maximizing the value of every barrel produced in Abu Dhabi is reflected in the EPC award.
With this expansion, Borouge will become the world’s largest single-site polyolefin complex. The facility will also enable the next phase of growth at the Ruwais Industrial Complex by supplying feedstock to the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone. Borouge undertook a front-end engineering design (FEED) and a competitive tender process; as part of the process leading up to the EPC awards.
The first package for Early Works was awarded to Al Asab General Transport and Contracting LLC, a leading Abu Dhabi-based construction company. The Early Works package covers engineering, procurement and construction related to site preparation and early works of the world-scale expansion.
The second package of Borouge 4 was awarded to French construction giant, Technip Energies, in consortium with Target Engineering, to build the Ethane Cracker. This is Borouge’s fourth cracker with a manufacturing capacity of 1.5 million tons of ethylene output per annum.
The last three packages were awarded to Italian industrial engineering company, Tecnimont, to build Borouge 4’s two new polyethylene manufacturing plants and the 1-hexene unit, a component in the production of high-performance polyethylene.
