DETAILS
Borealis will study the feasibility to significantly increase
the capacity of its polypropylene (PP) plants in Europe.
The feasibility study will be carried out over the next nine months
and will assess a series of capacity increases
through the debottlenecking of existing European PP assets.
The study will initially target the three PP plants Borealis
is operating in Belgium.
Final investment decisions are expected to be taken
in Q4 of 2018, with capacity increases coming on stream
from Q1 2020 to early 2022.
The potential capacity increases would take full advantage
of the additional propylene supply coming from the new planned
Borealis PDH (propane dehydrogenation) project
in Kallo, Belgium.
The envisaged total capacity increase
would be in the range of a new world scale PP plant.
The exact increase remains to be determined by the feasibility study.
